The First 30 Days With Your New Dog

A calm, practical plan for your dog’s first month home.

The first weeks can feel like ten problems arriving at once: unsettled sleep, accidents, unclear boundaries, nervous behavior and constant doubt about what to do next. This guide organizes those pressures into a sensible sequence so you can build safety, routine and trust without trying everything at once.

This guide is for you if:

• How to structure feeding, rest, toilet breaks and supervised freedom.
• How to introduce boundaries without overwhelming your dog.
• How to read progress, troubleshoot setbacks and know when to seek professional help.
