Bringing home a new puppy: week one

Sleep schedules, potty routines and the little wins that build a confident, well-adjusted pup.

Bringing home a new puppy: week one

Week one sets the tone for months to come. Focus on routine, not rules.

Sleep is more important than training. Puppies need 18–20 hours of sleep a day. A quiet, low-traffic corner with their crate is the single best gift you can give them.

Take them out every 2 hours, right after meals and immediately after waking up. Celebrate every outdoor pee like it's a Nobel Prize — it works.

Socialise gently. Different sounds, floor textures and calm humans — not big crowds or strange dogs yet.

Keep training sessions short: 2 minutes, five times a day beats one long session every time.

Happy running puppy
