When raising a Norfolk Terrier puppy, it is important to keep the following points in mind:
Health Care: Get regular check-ups from your veterinarian to ensure your puppy's health. It is also important to manage necessary vaccinations, prevention of internal and external parasites, and proper diet.
Proper Diet: Healthy growth requires balanced nutrition. Talk to your veterinarian about choosing the right dog food. Make sure you have a feeding plan for each stage of development and don't overfeed treats or human food.
Potty Training: It is important to start potty training your puppy early. Teach your dog good behavior by taking him to the bathroom on a consistent schedule and rewarding him with praise and rewards when he succeeds. If you fail, don't get angry, just stay calm and deal with it.
Socialization: Puppies need to experience social contact with other dogs and people from an early age. Be proactive about socialization training to get them accustomed to different environments and people. Providing opportunities for interaction with other dogs, such as puppy classes and dog parks, can also help.
Constant learning: Learning about dog behavior and training is an important part of raising a puppy. Learn the basics of positive training methods and commands, and work your way up to progressively more difficult workouts. Understand your dog's behavior and consider consulting a professional trainer if behavior problems occur.
Affection and Exercise: The Norfolk Terrier is an active and energetic breed. Provide plenty of exercise and play, and treat them with love and attention in their daily lives. Regular exercise promotes good health and helps prevent discipline and behavior problems.
By keeping these points in mind, your Norfolk Terrier puppy will grow up to be a healthy, happy adult dog. However, it is also a good idea to consult with a veterinarian or canine specialist, as each individual dog may require different care and training.

What about excretion discipline?
ChatGPT
It is effective to refer to the following procedures for puppy excretion training (toilet training).
Create a schedule: Puppies usually need to eliminate at certain times, such as after eating, drinking water, playing, or waking up. Know these timings and create a consistent schedule. For example, taking him to the bathroom after every meal or every few hours.
Frequent toileting: Take your puppy to a designated area (potty seat, litter tray, etc.) to encourage elimination. It is important to take them often at first. Help your puppy learn correct behavior by praising and rewarding him when he succeeds.
Don't get mad if you make mistakes: Sometimes mistakes are inevitable when potty training your puppy. If your puppy poops in the wrong place, stay calm and don't get angry or punish them. Anger can make puppies fearful and can make potty training difficult.
Clean up messy areas: If your puppy poops in the wrong place, clean it up immediately. If you leave your puppy smelling, it may perceive the area as a litter box again. Keep it clean by using special deodorants and detergents.
Gradual Restriction of Toilet Locations: Gradually restrict the pup's toileting areas and direct them to the desired location. At first, set up a toilet seat or toilet tray in a wide area and let the puppy acquire the habit of excreting. After that, the seat or tray is gradually narrowed so that the person can finally use the designated toilet area.
Adjust your schedule over time: As your puppy grows, the frequency and timing of their bowel movements will change. Gradually adjust your schedule to establish new patterns as you grow.
Potty training requires persistence and patience. It is important to respond flexibly to individual differences and progress of puppies. It's also important to keep an eye on your puppy during potty training so you don't miss any signs of defecation.
