A puppy’s earliest weeks are critical to their physical and emotional development. During this period, puppies begin forming habits, responses, and comfort levels that influence their behaviour later in life.
Proper nutrition, hygiene, vaccinations, and gentle handling help puppies grow into confident companions. Early socialisation — when done calmly and safely — supports emotional balance and adaptability.
For families, understanding this stage helps set realistic expectations. Puppies need patience, consistency, and support during their transition into a new home. When early care is handled thoughtfully, it lays the foundation for a healthier bond and smoother adjustment.
