The First 3 Days, 3 Weeks, and 3 Months
How Your Olde English Bulldog Learns This Is Home
​
Every dog adapts in stages. Even a well raised, confident Olde English Bulldog puppy needs time to understand their new surroundings, their new people, and their new routine.
At All Southern Dogs, we raise our puppies with intention, stability, and care from the very beginning. When your puppy comes home, your role is not to rush the process. Your role is to allow it.
​
Here is what that adjustment typically looks like.
The First 3 Days
The First Three Days With Your New Puppy are About Orientation.
​
Your puppy is taking in:

This is not a problem. This is your puppy processing change.​
