Many dogs once they become adults (especially smaller ones) choose to lie down on the sofa or armchairs because it is comfortable.But perhaps you can offer your newly welcomed puppy a bed where he will feel safe and well.
For a puppy, preferably choose a plastic lined bed with a cushion ; as long as it is away from dust, it will be easier to clean. Since a puppy also has a tendency to scratch his teeth on anything within his reach, plastic will hold up better to him than fabric or wicker.
The day your little furball arrives at home , show him the room in which you have set up his bed, having previously checked that it can stay there safely .His bed should be comfortable, and care should be taken to keep it clean and dry.
The basket must be placed in a quiet place , away from drafts and too frequent passage.If you have children, they should learn to respect the dog’s corner and not disturb him when he is resting. Once the sleeping place is established, avoid changing it because dogs like stability and routine.
Size and Form
A small dog or short-haired dog is often cautious and likes to curl into a ball. The bed should not be too big, so that it can curl up inside. He may feel lost in a basket that is too large. Choose a basket with high edges , in which your dog will feel safe.
If, on the contrary, it is a dog who is used to lying down at full length, choose a large enough basket, wide open , or even a dog mattress, without edges.
It will obviously tend to be lined with hair regularly vacuum the inside of the basket and shake the blankets . As it inevitably gets dirty, the fabrics that fill the bedding must be washable .
