The First Week With a Puppy: What I Do (and Don't Do)

Описание: The first week with a new puppy can feel overwhelming. There’s so much advice about what you should be doing — training, socializing, teaching behaviors — but in reality, this first week is about keeping things simple and building the right foundations.

In this video, I share what I focus on during week one, what I intentionally don’t do, and the simple training games I use to help puppies settle in, build confidence, and develop calmness from the very start.

I’m Gisela Griesser, a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant, and in this series I’m sharing how I’m raising my own puppy, Josie, step by step to become a confident, calm, and well-rounded dog.
