You need to puppy-proof your house, which involves looking at things like a puppy would. Puppies chew and get into everything, so things like cords need to be picked up, shoes need to be put in a closet, garbage pails may need to be elevated as well. You need to assume to that she is going to get into everything, because chances are, she probably will. Good luck!

i think you need to organize where the puppy is going to sleep and what your going to feed it? also you definetly do need to make sure that everything is put away properly so that it cant chok on anything or chew on anything it shouldnt!!! i hope you enjoy your new puppy! from experience they are a whole lotta FUN!!!!

get use to a house breaking sched… (they go out after they wake up, eat, play, and a good 30 mintues before bed.)
get eye level with your floor. if you can see it and touch it it can be used as a chew toy.
make sure you have apporpate chew toys
decided if your crating and do not give in when attempting to crate if the dog crys (if you respond everytime it whines its going to figure out that that is what it needs to do to get attention.)
take into account the feed bowls, sometimes if they can make a noise or be flipped with just a little weight then they are probly not the right ones for the dog. some dogs become scared of the bowls.

Research, research, research. I can not stress this enough. Far too many people bring the cute puppy home without enough information and either are not prepared or find out that cute face has something they can't deal with.
Make 100% sure this dog is going to fit your life style and you can give it proper care before you bring it home.
Both dog books, and the internet are great places for information. Who ever your getting the dog from should also be able to answer most questions you have.

i really reccomend some bitter spray to spray on wires and expensive shoes. make sure their crate and bed is ready, and you have a leash, collar, and dog food.
Oh, and don't let them near your computer! My puppy keeps pressing the caps lock and delete button!
XD good luck!

Get the book "Puppies for Dummies" (no offence intended).
Read it, use their advice to get yourself ready, and then live it.
