The 3-3-3 framework

When did you bring your dog home?

We’ll work out which phase your dog is in — 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months — and what to expect, what to do, and what to watch for.

First 3 days

Decompression

Your dog is overwhelmed. Their job right now is to feel safe.

Days 4 to 21

Settling in

Their personality starts coming through. Old habits and quirks emerge.

Weeks 4 to 12

Bonding

They’re becoming "your" dog. Trust, routine, and bond are building.
