What’s inside the free checklist
3 simple rules
Go at your puppy’s pace, keep each experience short and happy, and pair new things with small treats.
An 18-item checklist
Sights, sounds, surfaces and experiences to tick off as your puppy meets them calmly, with a reminder to ask your vet which places and dogs are safe before vaccines are complete.
If your puppy seems scared
Three steps: add distance, reward calm, and try again later. If your puppy stays fearful, ask your vet for help.
