FAQs
We've done our best to answer the most asked questions. If you don't see your question listed here search for your specific question on our FAQs page.
What is lifetime support?
When you purchase a puppy at FRD you get more than just your puppy, you get all the support you want or need.
We are always here to answer your questions any time of the day or night (if we are awake ????). We would rather you ask questions than have something preventable happen to your puppy. Granted, we may not always know the answer, but we will always do our best to help.
What's included in the vet check?
Dr. Sellon comes to our home to check on all our puppies. He does a head-to-toe exam and gives age appropriate vaccines. Every puppy has an exam before they go to their new forever home and will come with a signed health record from the vet.
How do I help my puppy adjust to its new home?
The first few days of bringing a new puppy home can be overwhelming. These are some tips for you so you can have a smooth transition.
Choose a potty spot
You should start by taking your puppy to an outside spot where you want him to go potty. Be sure to use a command like “go potty” so the puppy can learn.
Introduce your home one room at a time
Introduce your house to your puppy one room at a time. This will prevent a sensory overload and allows the puppy to get used to its new surroundings slowly.
Introduce family members individually
Try to let your puppy meet each family member individually.
Introduce its sleeping space
Show your puppy their sleeping space, which could either be a crate or a dog bed.
Give chew toys
Puppies like to chew so be sure to provide safe puppy chew toys.
Keep a close eye on your new family member
It’s important for your puppy to stay supervised within the early days.
Start training immediately
It’s critical that your puppy learns rules from the beginning. This is because the more structured and consistent its day is, the better adjusted it will be. Don’t yell or punish the puppy as this will only frighten and confuse it.
Take things slow
Under your supervision, gradually expand the puppy’s environment. With lots of affection, consistent rules and routine, rewards for good behavior, and gentle corrections, your puppy will adjust in no time.
