First 24 Hours Puppy Survival and Training Tips

Описание: Bringing home your new puppy? The first 24 hours can feel overwhelming — excitement, accidents, whining at night — but with the right plan, you'll set your pup up for success and build a strong bond from day one!
In this beginner-friendly guide, we cover everything new puppy owners need for survival and gentle training in those crucial first 24 hours. Follow AKC-inspired tips: puppy-proof your home, set up a safe space, start potty training immediately, introduce the crate positively, teach name recognition, and handle the first night without stress.
Key highlights:

Prep checklist before pickup (supplies, safe zone)
Arrival routine: Potty first, explore calmly, feed & water
Bonding basics: Name game, gentle handling, short play
Early training wins: Potty breaks every 1-2 hours, crate intro with treats
Nighttime survival: Crate setup, comfort sounds (heartbeat toy), handling crying
Common pitfalls to avoid: Overwhelming with people/toys, inconsistent rules

Puppies sleep 16-18 hours a day — use naps for rest! Stay positive, use rewards, and be patient. These steps reduce anxiety for both of you and kickstart good habits.
