What do I get?
The First 30 Nights as two fillable PDFs: a phone edition and a desktop & iPad edition. Plus 3 free bonuses: the Shopping & Puppy-Proofing checklist, the First 48 Hours quick-start with the 3am Plan (bedside card and phone and laptop wallpapers), and a Sitter & Family Care Sheet.
How do I get it?
Straight after checkout you'll see a download button, and we email you the link too. It's one ZIP file with everything inside. Open the file called 1-START-HERE.
Can I fill it in on my phone?
Yes. Save it to the Files app (iPhone) or open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (Android, free), then tap any box to tick or type. It saves as you go. Email and browser previews can't save, so download it first. You can also print any page.
Is this a training course?
No. It's a calm, day-by-day plan for your first month: sleep, toilet routine, biting, the first nights and how you're coping. It works alongside any puppy class or trainer.
Who wrote it?
It's built on public puppy-care guidance from organisations like SPCA NZ, RSPCA, PDSA, the AKC, AVSAB and WSAVA, with every source listed inside. We're not affiliated with them, and the plan isn't a substitute for your vet.
My puppy is older than 8 weeks. Is it still useful?
Yes. Schedules cover 8-16 weeks, and you can start on any day. Adopted an older puppy or rescue? Use the same plan and go a little slower with new experiences.
Does it work outside New Zealand?
Yes. There's a 'Where you live' page with notes for NZ, Australia, the UK, the US and Canada.
What if it's not for me?
Use it for your first week. If it doesn't help, email us within 30 days for a full refund. See our refund policy.
