You’ll love the way the Puppy Planner is organized
Each day we supply you with ideas and training resources for the five Core Skills that you’ll want to work on. The focus on the five Core Skills: Proactive Socialization; Games; Teaching Life Skills; House Training; and Preventative Exercises, ensures a good Socialization experience, builds confidence at home and in the park and helps develop a strong bond with you pup.
There’s a lot of things to learn with a new pup, so to add clarity, we’ve color-coded each of the Topic/Skill, so you can recognize and pick-up all the new information quickly.
Your daily game plan
The planner provides an individual page for the first four weeks after you start working with buddy. We include a daily checklist of things to do to develop each of the Core Skills, this will help you keep your training fresh and fun.
Jot down what’s happening
