Who, what, when, where and why
What it is
A two-page arrival planner covering preparation, a workable daily rhythm, gentle socialisation and simple weekly progress notes.
When to use it
Complete it before collection, then review it each evening during the first month.
Where it works best
Keep it somewhere every carer can see—on the fridge, family noticeboard or beside the puppy’s care supplies—and take a photo so the plan travels with you.
Why it was created
A shared plan prevents mixed messages and helps a puppy settle without packing every new experience into the first few days.
