Set up the first day, first night, safe zones, and family rules before habits form.
The complete starter course for new puppy owners who need a clear plan for potty training, crate confidence, biting, sleep, obedience, and the first weeks at home.
Set up the first day, first night, safe zones, and family rules before habits form.
Turn potty breaks, meals, naps, training, and play into a predictable rhythm.
Use timing, supervision, rewards, and accident recovery to make progress visible.
Introduce crate rest, first-night comfort, and calm exits without using the crate as punishment.
Redirect normal puppy mouthing and spot the difference between play, teething, and overtired behavior.
Teach simple cues that make daily life easier before adding distractions.
Build confidence with safe exposure, handling, leash foundations, and calm greetings.
Adjust the plan when barking, regression, chewing, jumping, or schedule changes appear.
