Small, clumsy, with big eyes and thick paws, puppies tumble into their new families and turn their everyday lives upside down. Table legs are chewed, visitors are jumped on, and if the little guy feels abandoned, he howls heartbreakingly. Now, good advice is needed! Dog expert Martin Rütter shows what puppies should learn in their first weeks – from house training to being left alone, exploring nature and the city, to basic commands like heel, come, sit, and down. Through positive learning, clear rules, and plenty of patience, a small dog can become a pleasant companion.
