What No One Tells You About Preparing for a New Puppy

You’ve bought the bed, the bowls, the blanket with their name on it, and about twelve toys that look like they’ll keep your puppy busy for more than five minutes. You’re all set, right?

Not quite.

The truth is, most new puppy owners focus on the stuff—but overlook the structure, the boundaries, and the training foundations that make life with a puppy easier from day one.

That’s where a Puppy Training Starter Kit comes in. It’s not just about having the right tools (like a house line, natural chews, a LickiMat, or a Kong). It’s about knowing how and when to use them to build calmness, confidence, and connection.

The things no one tells you? Your puppy needs:

• A predictable routine, not just free-for-all play.

• Safe outlets for chewing and exploring.

• Guidance on how to settle, listen, and switch off.

• And your calm, consistent leadership from the start.

So instead of filling your home with more toys and hoping for the best, start with the essentials that actually shape behaviour—and set your puppy (and yourself) up for a smoother journey.
