Every puppy adjusts at their own pace, but the 3-3-3 Rule is a great reminder of what to expect as your new best friend settles into their forever home.

🏡 First 3 Days: Time to Decompress
Everything is brand new. New people, new smells, new routines, and a new environment. Your puppy may seem shy, nervous, tired, or unsure. Give them patience, love, and a quiet space to adjust.

🦴 First 3 Weeks: Learning the Routine
Your puppy is beginning to understand your schedule, build trust, and feel more confident. This is the perfect time to establish routines, begin gentle training, and strengthen your bond.

❤️ First 3 Months: Feeling at Home
By now, your puppy truly starts to see your home as their own. Their personality shines through, confidence grows, and the lifelong bond you are building becomes even stronger.

🐾 Remember: Every puppy is unique. Some adjust more quickly, while others need a little extra time, and that is perfectly okay. Be patient, stay consistent, and celebrate the small victories along the way.

At L&K Doxies, we are always here to support you throughout your puppy's journey. Thank you for trusting us with your newest family member!
