Day 1: keep it calm. Give your puppy one quiet space with a bed, water, and a crate or playpen. Too much noise and too many visitors can overwhelm them.

Days 2 to 3: build a simple routine. Same feeding times, short potty breaks, and short play sessions. Consistency is what helps your Frenchie feel safe.

Days 3 to 4: start gentle handling. Touch paws, ears, and the collar area for a few seconds and reward calm behavior. This makes grooming and vet visits easier later.

Days 4 to 5: introduce your home slowly. One room at a time, and keep new experiences positive—treats, praise, and short sessions.

Days 5 to 6: begin basic habits. Practice “sit” and “come” with rewards. Keep training short—one to three minutes at a time—because Frenchies learn best in quick bursts.

Day 7: check your progress and adjust. If sleep, appetite, or potty habits are inconsistent, don’t panic. The goal is stability, not perfection.

One more important note: French Bulldogs can be sensitive to heat and overexertion. Keep exercise light, avoid hot weather, and watch for heavy panting.
