A chow chow puppy with all of its dense fur often resembles a teddy bear more than a canine. While the is a loving breed, it isn't as eager to please its master as is the loyalest of loyalists, the golden retriever. For the sake of a long and mutually satisfying relationship, it is essential that the humans involved with a chow chow set parameters early in the puppy's life and remain firm, yet gentle, in training the young canine to obey. Doing so will increase the possibility that your chow chow puppy will grow into a loyal family dog eager to guard its home.
Give unending amounts of love to your chow chow puppy by petting, holding and snuggling him or her during the time period of adjusting to the new home. Speak gently and reassure the young canine that this is where he or she now belongs.
Establish a relationship with a reputable veterinarian if you don't already have one. Securing proper veterinary care in the form of vaccinations, worming and professional advice regarding spay and neuter options ensures your puppy's future health.
