Early Decisions Have Permanent Impact
What you allow early becomes what you manage later.
Starting Right Means:
- Structure before freedom
- Calm before excitement
- Prevention before correction
- Safety before exposure
Common Early Mistakes
- Too much social access
- Inconsistent boundaries
- Emotional responses to behavior
- Waiting for problems to appear
A Preventative Mindset
Starting right means your puppy never needs “fixing” later.
