Picks worth a look

Real products only. A spot stays empty until a real, checked product fills it.

Puppy, week by week

From home day to week 16. Keep each session under 10 minutes and end on a win.

  1. Week 8

    Home day. Say their name in a happy voice. Treat the second they look. [VERIFY]

  2. Week 10

    First “sit”. Ask for one before meals and before games. [VERIFY]

  3. Week 12

    Crate naps and potty trips on repeat. It takes months, so keep it steady. [VERIFY]

  4. Week 14

    Collar and leash, indoors first. Treat when they stay close. [VERIFY]

  5. Week 16

    The big socialization window ends around now. Keep meeting calm people, new sounds, short car rides. [VERIFY]

  6. The full plan, day by day

How we pick

Three promises, in plain words.

  1. No fake reviews.

    No star ratings we made up. No testimonials from people who don't exist.

  2. Nobody pays for a spot.

    Brands can't buy their way onto a list. We earn a small cut when you buy through a link, and that never decides the pick.

  3. We say when we haven't used something.

    If a pick comes from research and not from our own dogs, the guide says so, right next to it.
