Your Puppy's First Year: The Complete Week-by-Week Guide to Training, Socialization, Health and Nutrition – From Day One to the First Birthday

Bringing home a puppy is one of the most exciting moments of your life - and one of the most overwhelming. Sleepless nights, accidents on the carpet, a puppy that won't stop biting your hands, and a hundred conflicting tips from the internet. Where do you even start?

Puppies: The Complete Guide to the First Year is the step-by-step roadmap that takes the guesswork out of raising a puppy - from the very first night home to the end of the wild puberty phase around month twelve. Written for real new dog owners with real daily lives, this guide replaces vague advice with concrete plans, clear rules, and simple routines you can start using today.
