Would like some pointers on how one can climatise a 8 week puppy to a hot humid climatic condition

Alot of water available at all times. It is hot and dry here and I have a small kids swimming pool they can get wet in after a walk. Most of the time when it is hot or cold they are in the house with me.

actually I just got my pup from Europe. He is not able to go outside due to sweltering heat and humid climate.
Swimming pool is a good idea thought of it too myself. But will the dog settle down after a while or will it take some time??

"But will the dog settle down after a while or will it take some time??" Not sure what you mean, in reference to the heat question... do you mean your pup is very active? If so, IMO after awhile they all settle but in different degrees depending on the pups drives. When my newest pup was 8 weeks she was a hellion. Bite, chew, bite, run,play, bite...did I mention bite?? Now she is 7 months and still wants to play, occasionally mouthy, outside goes and goes as long as I am outside but settles down in the house.

We live on the N.Florida/S.Georgia border, where the typical daytime temps are 95-98 degrees, with high humidity. Our GSD's spend most of their time outside without a problem. However, there is always someone home to water them, which, they are CONSTANTLY in need of. They have shade available to them at ALL times, and after excercise, we often bring them inside to cool down. I would think the in terms of limatizing your dog, the biggest challenge is going to be during his active times, which I would start off in small periods, slowly increasing in duration, carefully watching him for signs of exhaustion. When he is idle, with proper shade and hydration, he should not have a problem.

Time Vikram give it time. There is no short cut. air cons and anything else are temp measures. He must slowly understand it is India not Europe. believe me they finally adapt and it does not take too much time.
