## Resource

Debbie talks about the reality of bringing a new puppy home, joined by Tash for an honest and grounded conversation about why early puppyhood is so much harder than most people expect. Together they explore the deceptive ease of the first two weeks, the genuine challenges that arrive at 11 to 14 weeks, and the unrealistic timelines many owners place on milestones like toilet training and settling.
