When you welcome a new dog into your home, whether it be a puppy or an older rescue dog, that dog needs time to decompress.  We are all excited for this new family member, but throwing them in the mix too quickly can lead to annoying behavior and a stressed out dog. Giving your new dog time to learn the ropes and become comfortable with your family will lead to a happier life together and less issues between your children and the dog.
