Questions

My puppy is already home. Is it too late?

Not at all. Start with the fridge sheet and Part 2, then jump into the 30-Day Plan wherever you are.

What age is this for?

Puppies roughly 8–16 weeks old in their first month at home. The trackers, cues and 100 Firsts stay useful well after that.

I work full-time. Will this work for me?

Yes. There's a dedicated working-parent day plan and a care sheet for whoever helps you at midday.

Is this a physical product?

No. It's an instant digital download (PDF). Nothing will be shipped.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. The contents are clickable, and it works in GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app.

Does it replace a trainer or a vet?

No. It's a structured plan for everyday routines and basic training. For health questions or serious behavior problems, please contact your vet or a qualified trainer.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If it isn't what you expected, message us within 30 days for a full refund.
