Clean floors, a slack leash and a recall you can trust. One foundation skill a week, with the exact drill for each step.
Week 1: clean floors
Right now
Another puddle on the rug
Ten minutes after you came in from outside.
Every walk is a tug-of-war
And the puppy is winning.
Those needle teeth
They find your hands every time you hand over a treat.
Calling at the park
Watching them run the other way, getting smaller.
Good habits are easier to build than bad ones are to fix.
Clean floors, week one
Week 1
Learn how to size your puppy's crate to prevent indoor accidents, and use positive association games to build a safe, calming den for stress-free self-settling. Then set the two-hour potty loop and reward the right spot outside.
The 3-second drill
Week 2
Charge a marker word so your puppy knows exactly what earned the treat, build focus with the 3-second eye contact drill, and place rewards so those teeth never meet your fingers.
The six weeks
Week 1: Clean floors
Crate sizing and den conditioning, the two-hour potty loop, marking and rewarding outdoors, and how to handle accidents and odours.
Week 2: Focus and marker timing
Charging the marker word, the 3-second eye contact drill, and reward placement that prevents nipping.
Week 3: A slack leash, indoors
Gear without thrashing or freezing, the leash pressure give, the living-room follow-me game and calm at the front door.
Week 4: Leash manners outside
The 180-degree direction reversal, the sniff break as a reward, passing other dogs without lunging and handling pulling surges.
Week 5: The magnetic recall
Choosing your sacred recall cue, the restrained recall sprint, the 15-foot long line, and why you never call your puppy for something unpleasant.
Week 6: Recall in the real world
Long-line recalls past high-value distractions, the emergency double-whistle protocol and fading food rewards without losing reliability.
