Inside the free system
Six parts. One routine.
The potty schedule
three rules and a tracker — accidents become data, not drama
The crate plan
five steps from "scary box" to self-settling, with the move-on test for each
The sleep rhythm
why your "bad" puppy is usually an overtired puppy (18–20h/day)
The socialization checklist
the 14–16-week window, done smart before vaccines finish
The vet & vaccine timeline
the standard convention, ready to confirm with your own vet
Why a system and not more tips?
A routine runs the day for you.
Because puppies learn from repetition, not from your best intentions. Tips pile up; a routine runs the day for you. Everything in the guide is standard, positive-reinforcement convention — laid out as checkable steps instead of theory.
Who this is for
Structure over chaos.
New and soon-to-be puppy owners who want structure over chaos: what to do today, what "good progress" looks like this week, and when something is worth a call to the vet or a trainer.
