๐จTO ALL NEW HUMAN ADOPTERS!!! ๐จ
๐จThe "rule of 3" for animals, also known as the 3-3-3 rule, is a guideline for helping newly adopted pets adjust to their new homes. It outlines three key phases: the first three days, three weeks, and three months, each representing a different stage of the pet's adjustment process.
๐จHere's a breakdown:
First 3 Days:
This is a period of decompression where the pet is likely overwhelmed and stressed by the new environment. They may hide, be cautious, or show signs of anxiety. It's crucial to provide a safe and quiet space, limit interactions, and let them adjust at their own pace.
First 3 Weeks:
The pet starts settling in, exploring their surroundings, and becoming more comfortable. Their true personality may start to emerge, but they may also exhibit some behavioral issues as they test boundaries. This is a good time to start basic training and establish routines.
First 3 Months:
The pet is generally feeling more at home, comfortable with their environment, and building trust with their new family. This phase involves continued socialization, training, and exposing them to various experiences to solidify their bond and routines.
