Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Pets and Animals: [header] How to bond with your new puppy before taking it home [title] Go slowly. [step] You don't want to overwhelm the dog with affection the first time you meet it. Give it a chance to get to know you and approach you first.

Ending1: Typically, your puppy will react with ease to your approach. If you rush, the transition is too short. Ending2: While there's no chance this introduction will have anything to do with the closeness of strangers, the introduction will show that you care and want to bond with your new puppy. [substeps] Invite your new puppy to meet you as soon as it picks up on the signs that it's new or comfortable with you. Ending3: Approach slowly, as a puppy might sniff you when coming down the stairs. The whole point is to calm it down when it starts sniffing, rather than barking. Ending4: Try sitting down on the floor, and letting the dog come over to you as it explores the room. Running up to it and grabbing can be scary for a pup.
