Bringing home a Micro American Bully puppy is an exciting milestone. The first 30 days are a critical adjustment period that sets the foundation for your puppy’s confidence, behavior, health, and long-term bond with your family.
Micro Bullies are intelligent, people-focused dogs that thrive on structure, routine, and calm leadership. Understanding what to expect—and how to prepare—helps ensure a smooth transition for both you and your puppy.
This guide walks you through the first month of Micro Bully ownership, from preparation and routine to socialization and training.
Week 1: Settling In & Building Trust
Create a Calm Environment
The first few days should focus on security and consistency.
Limit visitors initially
Keep the environment quiet and predictable
Establish a designated sleeping and resting area
Micro Bullies form strong attachments quickly, and a calm start helps reduce anxiety and overstimulation.

Establish a Routine Immediately
Structure builds confidence.
Start consistent schedules for:
Feeding
Potty breaks
Playtime
Rest
Puppies learn faster when expectations are clear. Even small routines help your Micro Bully understand what comes next.
Week 2: Socialization Begins
Introduce New Experiences Gradually
Early socialization shapes long-term behavior.
During week two:
Introduce household sounds (TV, vacuum, doorbells)
Allow controlled interactions with trusted people
Begin short car rides
Micro Bullies benefit from positive exposure, not overwhelming stimulation.
