New owner, First Chow, Need Advice

Post by tchen6 »

Hi i just got a chow puppy from a breeder yesterday, we named her Meatball and she is 8 weeks old.
After we got home, Meatball just hides in the corner of the bathroom to lays down on the floor and rest.
we then went out to buy some puppy necessities for her but the thing is that she is too shy(maybe?) to do anything
This morning me and my girldfriend tried to take her out for a walk but all she does the whole day is laying down on the floor...
I dont wanna force her to do what she dont want to do but is it natural for a puppy chow to rest all day...?
I really need some advice some you all maybe on feeding, and getting close with the puppy...
thanks alot guys!

congrats on your new chow puppy!! I am a chow owner of 2 weeks. I got lion when he was 7 weeks old. I just fed my chow really good food when i brought him home. my chow loves fish, even more than meat...I also train lion with fish. he just learned how to sit. good luck with everything.
