Setting up your home environment is key to helping your puppy settle safely and successfully. Using baby gates and puppy pens can help create secure areas where your puppy can relax and explore without full access to the house. When you’re unable to supervise, keeping your puppy in a safe, enclosed space helps prevent unwanted behaviours and keeps them out of trouble. This kind of management supports good habits from the start and allows your puppy to gradually be given more freedom as they develop.
