Bringing Your Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy Home

Congratulations on welcoming your new Bernese Mountain Dog puppy into your family!

The first few days and weeks in a new home are an exciting time for both you and your puppy. While your puppy may be curious and eager to explore, they may also need time to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings, routines, and family members. Patience, consistency, and plenty of love will help your puppy settle in comfortably.

At Furry Bernese Puppies, our commitment to our puppies does not end when they leave our home. We are always available to provide guidance and support throughout your puppy’s life.

The First Few Days
Your puppy has spent the first weeks of life with littermates and familiar surroundings. Moving to a new home is a major transition.
During the first few days:

• Provide a quiet and comfortable sleeping area.
• Allow your puppy time to explore at their own pace.
• Establish a consistent feeding schedule.
• Limit overwhelming experiences and large gatherings.
• Begin building trust through positive interactions.

It is normal for puppies to experience mild stress during the adjustment period. Most puppies adapt quickly once they begin bonding with their new family.

Feeding Your Puppy
Proper nutrition is essential for healthy growth and development.
We recommend:
✔ Feeding high-quality puppy food
✔ Following a consistent feeding schedule
✔ Providing fresh, clean water at all times
✔ Avoiding sudden food changes during the first few weeks
If you decide to transition to a different food, do so gradually over 7–10 days to prevent digestive upset.

Always consult your veterinarian regarding dietary recommendations specific to your puppy.

House Training
House training requires consistency and patience.
To help your puppy succeed:

• Take your puppy outside frequently.
• Establish regular potty breaks after meals, naps, and playtime.
• Praise and reward successful potty trips.
• Maintain a predictable daily routine.

Accidents are a normal part of the learning process. Positive reinforcement is the most effective training method.

Socialization
Early socialization helps your puppy grow into a confident and well-adjusted adult dog.
Introduce your puppy to:

• Different people
• New environments
• Household sounds
• Friendly dogs and pets
• Car rides and outdoor adventures

All experiences should be positive and age-appropriate.

A well-socialized Bernese Mountain Dog is typically friendly, calm, and confident throughout life.

Exercise & Play
Bernese Mountain Dogs are active but not overly demanding.
Young puppies should enjoy:

• Short walks
• Gentle play sessions
• Mental stimulation
• Family interaction

Avoid excessive exercise while your puppy’s joints and bones are still developing.

As your puppy grows, activity levels can gradually increase.

Veterinary Care
Your puppy has received age-appropriate veterinary care before joining your family.
After bringing your puppy home:

• Schedule a wellness examination with your veterinarian.
• Continue vaccinations as recommended.
• Follow a regular deworming schedule.
• Discuss flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
• Maintain annual health examinations.

Regular veterinary care plays a vital role in your dog’s long-term health and well-being.

Training Your Puppy
Bernese Mountain Dogs are intelligent and eager to please, making them highly trainable companions.
Start with basic commands such as:

• Sit
• Stay
• Come
• Down
• Leave It
• Walking on a Leash

Keep training sessions short, positive, and rewarding.

Consistency and patience will help your puppy become a well-mannered member of the family.

Grooming
Bernese Mountain Dogs have beautiful double coats that require regular maintenance.

We recommend:
✔ Brushing several times each week
✔ Routine nail trimming
✔ Ear cleaning as needed
✔ Regular dental care
✔ Occasional bathing

Consistent grooming keeps your dog comfortable and helps maintain a healthy coat.

A Lifelong Companion
Bernese Mountain Dogs are known for their loyalty, affection, and gentle nature. They thrive when included as part of the family and enjoy spending time with the people they love.

By providing proper care, training, nutrition, and companionship, you are giving your puppy the foundation for a happy and fulfilling life.
