A week-by-week roadmap for raising the perfect companion
What to focus on at each developmental stage
Focus on positive exposures, crate introduction, and first commands. The most important period for lifelong temperament.
Strengthen basic commands, address chewing, manage energy bursts, and establish leadership gently.
Navigate selective hearing, increased independence, and refine obedience in distracting environments.
"Our golden retriever was potty trained in 10 days using Jack's routine method. The crate training module was a lifesaver - she sleeps through the night now!"
"The bite inhibition section saved our hands! Our German Shepherd puppy went from biting hard to gentle mouthing in 2 weeks."
"As a first-time dog owner, I was overwhelmed. This course gave me confidence. My Frenchie knows 8 commands at 4 months old!"
One-time payment
Training should begin the moment you bring your puppy home, typically around 8 weeks old. Early training focuses on socialization, house training, and gentle handling. Formal obedience training can start at 8-10 weeks with short, positive sessions.
For puppies under 6 months, keep sessions to 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times per day. Their attention spans are short! As they mature, you can extend to 15-20 minutes. The course provides age-appropriate session guides.
