Your Puppy Is Counting on You to Get the First 8 Weeks Right.
Most puppy problems aren’t caused by bad dogs — they’re caused by first-week mistakes no one warned you about. New Puppy Foundations is the plan you needed before they came home.
It’s 2 a.m. You’ve been awake for three hours. The crate is right next to the bed like every blog post told you. Your puppy is still crying. You’ve already Googled “is it normal for puppies to cry this much” twice, watched a YouTube video about crate training that contradicted the last YouTube video, and you’re starting to wonder if you’re somehow already doing this wrong.
You’re not doing it wrong. You just don’t have a plan yet.
The first eight weeks of a puppy’s life with you are the most important eight weeks of the next decade. Habits form fast — good ones and bad ones. The puppies who become calm, confident, well-mannered adult dogs aren’t lucky. They had an owner who knew what to do in week one, week two, and week three — and stayed consistent.
That’s exactly what New Puppy Foundations gives you. No fluff, no 45-minute video lectures, no conflicting advice. Just a clear, week-by-week written guide that tells you exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it matters.
What You Get — All 8 Weeks
- Week 1: Your First 48 Hours — Setup, schedule, and survival. What to do the moment they walk through the door, and the one thing you must do before anything else.
- Week 2: House Training & Crate Training Mastered — The exact system that gets most puppies reliably house-trained within 14 days. No punishment, no confusion.
- Week 3: Socialization Done Right — The socialization window closes at 16 weeks and never reopens. This week is the most important one in the entire course.
- Week 4: Sit, Stay, Come, Leave It — The four foundational commands. Taught the right way, in the right order, with the right rewards.
- Week 5: Leash Skills and Outings Without Chaos — How to walk a puppy that doesn’t pull, lunge, or bolt. Plus how to handle the first trips to new places.
- Week 6: Alone Time & Separation Anxiety Prevention — The habits you build now determine whether your dog panics every time you leave the house for the next 12 years.
- Week 7: Health, Grooming & Vet Visit Confidence — What every new puppy owner needs to know about vaccines, parasites, food, grooming, and preparing for the vet without drama.
- Week 8: Troubleshooting the 12 Most Common Puppy Problems — Biting, barking, jumping, resource guarding, and nine more. Practical fixes, not lectures.
Who This Is For
- First-time puppy owners who want to do this right from day one — and not spend the next two years undoing bad habits.
- People exhausted by YouTube — every video says something different, none of them are in order, and you’re spending more time researching than training.
- Owners who can’t justify $150/hour for a private trainer but know their puppy deserves real guidance, not just hope.
What Other Puppy Parents Are Saying
“I was so overwhelmed the first night — my Golden puppy would not stop crying and I had no idea if I was doing anything right. Week 1 of this course gave me a schedule I could actually follow. By day 5 she was sleeping through the night. I genuinely could not have done it without this.”

“My Lab was a biting machine at 9 weeks. I’d read so many contradicting things online I just froze and let it keep happening. The biting module alone was worth ten times what I paid. Consistent for two weeks and it basically stopped.”
— Marcus T., Labrador dad

“I priced out private training — $600 for a six-session package. I bought this instead and honestly I think I learned more. Everything is written clearly, nothing is overwhelming, and I could re-read sections as many times as I needed.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a video course?
No. New Puppy Foundations is a written course — text, structured by week, designed to be read and re-read. You can pull it up on your phone at 6 a.m. when you need to remember what to do next. No videos to scrub through, no auto-play, no buffering.
How long does it take to complete?
Each weekly module takes about 20–30 minutes to read. You complete one per week alongside your puppy’s actual training. The whole course runs 8 weeks — which is exactly how long it takes to build solid foundations.
My puppy is already 4 months old. Is it too late?
Not at all. While the earlier you start the better, the core training concepts in this course apply to puppies up to 6 months and beyond. The troubleshooting module in Week 8 is especially valuable if you’re already dealing with problem behaviors.
What breed is this for?
All of them. The training principles in this course are breed-neutral — they work for a 5-pound Chihuahua and a 90-pound German Shepherd. Breed-specific nuances are noted where relevant.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — 30 days, no questions asked. If you go through the course and don’t feel it was worth every cent of $47, email us and we’ll refund you in full. We’re confident you won’t need to ask.
The first eight weeks shape the next eight years. At $47 — less than a single private training session — there’s no reason to navigate this alone.
