The Safe Space Video
Before your puppy walks through your door, watch this. It is the single most useful ten minutes you will spend this week.
Why a safe space comes first
A puppy that has somewhere safe to be will rest, and a puppy that rests can learn. Everything else — house-training, handling, socialization, recall — sits on top of that one foundation. This video walks through what a genuine safe space looks like, where to put it, and the mistakes that quietly undo it in the first week.

Confirm you've watched it
Families are asked to confirm viewing before their puppy comes home, so we know the safe-space foundation is in place before anything else is built on top of it.
