A Comfortable Bed For Your New Chin Puppy

A new home will not be nearly as frightening for a puppy if there is a comfortable and warm sleeping area for him. It needs to be clean and low key area of the house where he can go for some peace and quiet.

One of the most popular dog beds is a decorative wicker bed. These beds creak when a dog moves around on it, which can sometimes have a calming effect on Japanese chin puppies. However, these beds catch dirt and crumbs very easily. They can also be hazardous to teething and rambunctious puppies because they break easily and pieces may be swallowed by a puppy.

Some beds are made of hard plastic and if your pet has a need to chew something, this might be a good choice for them. Refrain from impulsively buying a designer or luxurious bed simply because they look good. You want something that is easy to clean and move. Because they will get dirty and you just might need to move it every so often.

Bean bag beds with removable covers are easy to clean and maintain. Although not as inexpensive as most round fleece beds and other pads they are easier to clean.

All beds should be put inside a collapsible crate or a wire cage, especially for the first year. Japanese chins and any other pet should not be allowed to run freely inside a house. A cage will also give a puppy it's own space, and creates a sense of security.  

At first your new puppy will want to get out of his cage and stay in the same room as you. Take him for occasional walks throughout the house, and return him to his cage for ten to fifteen minutes. At first he will whine when you leave him alone in his cage, but try to ignore them, and he'll stop after his whining gets him nowhere.

When it's time to go to bed, place your puppy in his cage and leave him there. If he whines too much, a water bottle filled with warm water and wrapped in a towel or large rag will occasionally stop them. Even wrapping it with one of your clothes may calm him and make him not feel so alone.
