Between eight and sixteen weeks, your puppy will grow and change faster than at almost any other stage in their life. A gentle, flexible routine helps them navigate this time with confidence. Keep it simple, predictable, and responsive. Make space for calm anchors throughout the day. Stay observant and adjust as needed. Most importantly, let your routine be a framework for connection and one that shows your puppy they are safe, understood, and loved in your care.
