Home / Puppy
A new puppy changes the whole house at once: sleep, floors, shoes and routines all move in the first week. This hub gathers every puppy guide on the site in one place, ordered the way the first year actually unfolds, so the next job is always the one in front of you.
The first year hub breaks the journey into honest stages, from the first night home to the first birthday, and the checklist turns those stages into tasks you can tick off as you go.
Three training guides carry most of the early workload. All of them use reward based methods and honest timings.
The schedule, supervision and clean up system that works for puppies and newly adopted adults alike.
A crate a puppy loves is a bedroom, not a punishment: the step by step conditioning plan and fair duration limits.
Four paws on the floor for greetings, and the kind route through puppy biting, with clear lines on what is normal.
The first fortnight is about sleep, toilet trips and gentle handling. Months three to six bring teething, first classes and the move outdoors for recall and leash work. Months six to twelve are adolescence, when energy and selective hearing arrive together and kind, consistent training matters most. The guides above match that shape, and every breed profile carries a growth table, so you can check what your own puppy should weigh at each stage.
