Puppy Training Companion Guide: From 8 Weeks to 12 Months

Bringing a puppy into your home is the beginning of an exciting journey. The Puppy Training Companion Guide has been created to support you through the first year, giving you clear, practical steps to help your puppy grow into a happy and confident companion.

 

This guide focuses on positive, evidence-based training that builds trust and makes learning enjoyable for both you and your dog. It is not about quick fixes, but about setting a strong foundation that lasts a lifetime.

 

Inside, you will find:

  • An introduction to positive reinforcement and why it is the most effective and kind approach.

  • Age-appropriate guidance, from the first weeks at home through to 12 months.

  • Practical tips for keeping sessions short, fun and rewarding.

  • Advice on creating a safe and supportive environment, including crate training, puppy lines and supervision.

  • Step by step suggestions for progressing training with distractions and new challenges.

  • Encouragement to celebrate milestones and adapt as your puppy grows.

 

The Puppy Training Companion Guide is designed for everyday owners who want simple, kind and effective advice without overwhelm. It does not replace hands-on training but acts as a supportive resource, helping you build routines, set realistic goals and enjoy the process of raising your puppy
