The EDTUK Puppy Guide – Digital Download
Raising calm, confident puppies through kindness, enrichment, and
enhancing their wellbeing
The EDTUK Puppy Guide is a comprehensive digital resource designed to support you through the early stages of life with your puppy — helping you understand what is normal, how to meet your puppy’s needs, and how to raise a calm, confident dog through kindness, enrichment, and emotional safety.
Puppyhood can feel overwhelming. This guide removes pressure, myths, and unrealistic expectations, replacing them with clear guidance, reassurance, and evidence-based information. There is no perfect puppy and no perfect owner — progress comes from patience, understanding, and supporting your puppy as they learn about the world.
The guide is designed to be read in short sections, revisited when needed, and used alongside real life. There is no rigid order and no rush.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn:
What behaviour is normal for puppies and why
How puppies learn, develop, and process the world
How to support calm behaviour through routines, rest, and enrichment
Gentle socialisation the EDTUK way — calm, appropriate, and kind
How to prevent overwhelm and build confidence safely
Understanding biting, chewing, toilet training, and common puppy challenges
How sleep, sniffing, and enrichment support emotional regulation
Why kindness, choice, and consent matter in training
The guide also works alongside the EDTUK Socialisation Bingo, helping you introduce new experiences in a structured, low-pressure way that supports positive emotional learning rather than forced exposure.
Throughout the guide, key concepts are explained clearly and supported by learning theory, developmental science, and welfare-based research — without jargon or judgement.
