when i first brought my puppy home i was excited but also scared i had no idea how to handle the endless accidents, chewing, barking, and whining. it honestly felt like chaos. i thought i was failing as an owner. then i started using this guide, and everything started to shift.
the first thing that really helped was the clear daily structure. instead of guessing or randomly trying things, i had small, manageable steps to follow. within just a few days, potty training improved so much. the accidents on my carpet went from constant to almost none. that gave me confidence to keep going.
next came the commands. sit, stay, and come felt overwhelming before, but the way it was explained made it so easy. my puppy picked them up quickly, and i felt proud of both of us.
the section on socialization was the biggest surprise. before, i was nervous about introducing my pup to other dogs, but the gentle approach made outings stress-free. now my puppy is happy, calm, and confident around new people and pets.
what once felt like chaos now feels joyful. i finally feel like i know what i’m doing, and my pup is thriving.
