How do I introduce the dog to his new home?

The way that I would introduce a new dog to a home is on a leash. First of all, they don't come off a leash. You walk the dog around the house and show them everything, making sure that the first destination spot is your potty area. Once that's been designated, meaning the dog has gone potty in that area, then you're really feeling a lot more free to walk through the house. You might do it with treats. Do some training in each room. Show the dog where its bed is, where its crate is, where its food and water bowl is. Orient them but remember that the dog being on a leash is key.
