Quick answer: The first lessons are less about making a puppy perform tricks and more about building habits that make everyday life easier.
Name recognition and attention
Help your puppy learn that responding to their name leads to good things.
Toilet routine
Build predictable opportunities and reward the behaviour you want.
Handling
Gently practise paws, ears, collar, brushing and other everyday handling in short, positive sessions.
Recall foundations
Start in safe, low-distraction environments and make coming to you worthwhile.
Calmness and settling
Teach your puppy that relaxing on a mat or in a safe space is also a skill.
Socialisation
Expose puppies thoughtfully to suitable people, environments, surfaces and sounds without overwhelming them.
