What common knowledge should be paid attention to when raising a Samoyed dog for the first time?

Samoyed Dog (Detailed Introduction)

Generally speaking, during the initial period after a Samoyed puppy arrives home, avoid letting the puppy be too tired, avoid frequent contact with strangers, and do not feed random snacks.

1. Do not let the Samoyed puppy be frightened. Within the first two weeks after the dog arrives, it is best to minimize the puppy’s contact with strangers and avoid taking it to noisy places to prevent frightening it. Never scare the puppy with sudden loud noises, as this will make it timid and lose confidence in the new environment. Especially when the Samoyed puppy is sleeping, do not disturb it. Like a baby, the puppy needs sufficient sleep.

2. Do not let the Samoyed puppy become overly tired. When the puppy first arrives, the whole family will naturally feel excited and love to play with it. Of course, this makes the puppy happy, increases its sense of belonging, enhances friendship with the owner, and reduces fear caused by environmental changes. However, excessive play will exhaust the puppy and it cannot sustain it. Therefore, after playing for a while, it should be allowed to rest more to regain strength.　

3. Do not disturb the Samoyed puppy when it is eating. After feeding the puppy, do not let it run or jump around. Like a child, it needs rest after being full. At the same time, do not feed the puppy random snacks, as this can affect its normal appetite, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea.

4. Do not place the Samoyed puppy in dangerous places. Never put the puppy on a high place, even for a moment. Most dogs have acrophobia, and a slight mishap falling can cause concussion or fractures.　　　

5. Pay attention to the posture when grabbing and holding the dog. When grabbing a Samoyed puppy, first use one hand to grasp above the neck to lift it, then use the other hand to support its abdomen. When holding a Samoyed puppy, place one hand on its chest, and the other hand or arm supports its hind legs and tail, close to the body, making it feel secure. Never just hold the puppy’s front legs, because the puppy’s tendons and muscles are not fully developed and it is easy to cause fractures and injuries.
