Start with the route you need
This is an execution manual, not a book to read once and shelve.
Every practical chapter ends with “Do these three things,” so you always know what to do this week. Printable logs and scorecards are collected in Chapter 27.
Path 01
Set up the environment and routine first, then move directly to toileting and crate work.
Path 02
Build marker and focus skills, then address mouthing and safe socialisation.
Path 03
Read the breed reality, the developmental clock and the long-term exercise limits before deciding.
Warning card
Stop, lower the difficulty and manage the situation before continuing.
Goal card
Use the stated behaviour and success rate to decide whether to progress.
Time card
End while the puppy is still successful; more minutes are not automatically better.
Day school, board & train and private sessions are quoted after a chat, and boarding or daycare can be booked online with live prices.
