Tips for a new puppy owner?

Yes...100% LUTGARD
Get a comfort cloth, it worked for us.
Get a DAP, it also worked.
Get a crate, the biggest!
It worked for ours.
The door is off now...
Its hers now!

Thanks! I'm definitely into the crate idea, I'll be getting one of those.

...what's a DAP?

Hi,
DAP stands for Dog Appeasing Pheromone

Here's a descriptive quote,

In mammals, all lactating females release substances called "appeasing" pheromones, the function of which is to reassure the offspring. Research has shown that these reassuring properties persist even into the adult stage.

D.A.P. Diffuser contains an analogue of the natural canine appeasing pheromone. D.A.P. Diffuser helps stop or prevent fear related reactions in puppies and adult dogs, expressed as:

Destruction
Vocalisation
House soiling
Excessive licking

D.A.P. Diffuser helps comfort puppies and adult dogs in situations they may find worrying or which make them apprehensive (visitors, strangers, vet visits, firework seasons, novel and unpredictable situations).

D.A.P. Diffuser helps establish the puppy in a new environment (re-homing, moving house, coping with strangers).
