START WITH YOUR REAL LIFE

What feels tricky
right now?

You don’t need to work on everything at once.
Choose one everyday challenge to find a starting point.

A starting point for everyday learning, not a behavioural assessment.

COMFORT BEFORE COMPLEXITY

A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING GOES A LONG WAY

Teach the skill.
Keep the trust.

A puppy doesn’t need a perfect owner. You need an achievable plan, a way to read the moment and permission to make it easier.

01

Start where you both are

Prepare a safe setup and choose a small task your puppy can manage.

02

Notice, reward, adjust

Follow the whole response. The guides favour rewarding useful choices and changing difficult situations.

03

Measure what matters

Use the workbook to record comfort, context and the help needed. There’s no fixed deadline for perfection.

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A little clarity on what’s included,
how to use it and when to get more help.

What do I receive with a guide?+

Each product is one English-language PDF guide and workbook, between 22 and 30 pages. It contains instructions, worked examples, troubleshooting, printable writing pages and source references. The individual product view lists its exact contents. No printed book, video course or personal training sessions are included.

Can I buy and download the guides now?+

Use the Buy Now button on any guide, or choose the complete bundle. Each guide is $9.99 USD; all ten are $49.95 USD, saving 50% compared with buying them individually for $99.90. You’ll continue to Lemon Squeezy to review the order and pay. Check the final amount and any applicable taxes there before completing your purchase.

Can I print it or use it on my phone?+

Yes. Use a PDF reader to read on a phone, tablet or computer. You can print just the worksheets and write on them, or add notes with a PDF annotation app. These are not fillable form PDFs. Choose “fit to page” when printing and check your printer’s preview.

Which guide should I start with?+

Choose the problem you meet most often today. Use the guide finder above, then check the contents and workbook sample. The books are designed for separate everyday skills; you do not need to buy or complete all ten in order.

Are the guides suitable for a first-time puppy owner?+

They use beginner-friendly instructions for adults caring for young puppies. The starting conditions differ by topic: for example, the swap exercises are for puppies without signs of guarding, and alone-time practice starts from comfort with a person nearby. Check the “Who it’s for” and scope notes before choosing.

Will this replace a trainer or my vet?+

No. These are educational tools for everyday learning, not individual assessment or treatment. Seek veterinary advice for pain, illness or sudden changes, and qualified behaviour support for fear, aggression, guarding or persistent distress. Results and timelines vary. The workbooks have not been independently clinically validated or endorsed by the organisations they cite.

Can I use them in my country?+

The guides are written in English and use terms such as “lead” and “toilet training” for leash walking and potty training. Readers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland should adapt health precautions, access rules and emergency contacts to local advice. Ask your own vet about suitable locations and vaccination precautions.

What are the refund and delivery terms?+

Payment is handled on Lemon Squeezy. Review the seller’s delivery and refund information at checkout before paying. For order or download help, use the support details in your Lemon Squeezy receipt. This website does not collect your payment card details.
