Puppy-proof your home by removing potential hazards. Secure electrical cords, hide toxic plants, and set up a designated safe space for your new furry family member.

Gather essential supplies before your puppy arrives. This includes food and water bowls, a comfortable bed, chew toys, grooming tools, and quality puppy food. 

Schedule a vet appointment early on. Ensure vaccinations and preventive care are up to date. Discuss a feeding schedule and any specific health concerns with your veterinarian.

Develop a basic training plan. Start with essential commands like sit, stay, and recall. Consistent and positive training sets the foundation for a well-behaved and obedient puppy.

Introduce your puppy to their new environment gradually. Allow them to explore different areas of your home, meeting family members, and becoming familiar with their surroundings.

Begin socializing your puppy with various people, animals, and environments. Positive socialization experiences during puppyhood contribute to a well-adjusted adult dog.
