Early experiences can shape confidence and coping. Focus on safety, gentle exposure, rest and rewarding the behaviour you want to see.

This is not about rushing tricks. It is about helping a young puppy feel safe, understand the household and learn how to make good choices.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Is 12 weeks too late to begin?

No. Earlier guidance helps, but learning continues throughout life. Begin with calm routines and age-appropriate expectations.

Is the guide suitable for every breed?

The core principles apply broadly. Breed, health and temperament still affect exercise, enrichment and training choices.

What will a home assessment cover?

Your trainer observes routine, environment and behaviour, demonstrates useful exercises and suggests priorities.
