A puppy moves in – and with it a wave of joy, chaos, sleepless nights, and moments you'll never forget. The first year with a dog is intense. But it lays the foundation for a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
The first few weeks: Let them settle in
Your puppy has just left its mother, siblings, and everything familiar. Give it time. A quiet, safe retreat – ideally a soft dog bed in a quiet corner – helps it orient itself and build trust.
Avoid too many visitors and stimuli in the first few days. Your puppy needs you – and peace and quiet.
Training: Consistency with heart
Puppies learn quickly – but they also quickly learn the wrong things if we aren't consistent. Positive reinforcement works better than punishment. Praise, play, and treats as rewards are the most effective tools.
A treat pouch during training is invaluable: rewards always at hand, hygienically packaged, suitable for both wet and dry food.
Socialization: Every encounter counts now
Between the 3rd and 16th week of life, experiences are imprinted particularly deeply. Other dogs, people, noises, cars – the more your puppy gets to know now, the more balanced it will be as an adult dog.
Health from the start
Regular vet visits, vaccinations, and deworming are a must. But daily care also counts: checking ears, keeping an eye on claws, brushing fur. A fur brush with one-click cleaning makes the grooming routine easy and pleasant – for both you and your puppy.
The first year passes faster than you think
One day you'll look at photos and hardly believe how small he once was. The first year is exhausting – but it's also the year a strange little creature becomes your best friend.
