Frequently asked questions

What is the most important thing to do in the first 48 hours with a new puppy?
Keep it calm. The puppy has left its mother, littermates and the only environment it has known. Limited visitors, a quiet house and consistent responses to toilet accidents (no punishment — simply clean up and redirect) establish the foundation for everything that follows. Start crate training immediately — a positive relationship with the crate prevents later separation anxiety.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
