When you bring a puppy home, avoid these common mistakes…

• Don’t Overwhelm Them
  • Limit new people, pets, and environments in the beginning.
• Don’t Skip the Vet
  • Schedule a health checkup right away for vaccinations and deworming.
• Don’t Let Them Roam Unsupervised
  • Keep them in a safe, puppy-proofed area.
• Don’t Use Punishment-Based Training
  • Stick to positive reinforcement like treats and praise.
• Don’t Skip Crate Training
  • Introduce the crate as a safe space for them.
• Don’t Expect Perfection
  • Be patient with accidents and mistakes.
• Don’t Give Too Much Freedom
  • Limit their space until they’re trained.
• Don’t Forget Socialization
  • Expose them to new experiences and people once fully vaccinated.

A calm, structured approach helps your puppy adjust and thrive.
