The PAWS Gotcha Day Series

A first year, thoughtfully guided.

1. Go Home Day Edition

Where it all begins

The first days at home set the foundation for everything that follows. This edition is designed to guide you through that critical transition—from leaving the breeder to settling into your new life together.

Inside, you’ll find support on:

• The first 72 hours at home
• Creating a calm, safe environment
• Feeding, routines, and early structure
• Building trust from day one

This is your starting point—grounded, reassuring, and built to help you begin with confidence.

2. Finding Your Rhythm (3–6 Months)

Where routine meets reality

By now, the excitement has settled into everyday life—and the real work begins. This stage is about consistency, patience, and understanding your puppy as they grow into their personality.

This edition focuses on:

• Establishing daily routines that work
• Early training and boundaries
• Socialization done right
• Navigating teething and high-energy phases

It’s about finding your flow—and building habits that last.

3. Testing the Bond (6–9 Months)

Where challenges shape connection

Adolescence arrives, and with it comes independence, stubborn moments, and testing limits. This is one of the most misunderstood stages—and one of the most important.

Inside, we guide you through:

• Managing behavioural changes
• Reinforcing training and trust
• Staying consistent through regression
• Strengthening your bond during challenges

This phase isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, staying steady, and growing together.

4. This Is Us (9–12 Months)

Where it all comes together

Your puppy is no longer a baby—they’re becoming the dog they’re meant to be. This edition reflects on the journey so far while helping you step confidently into the years ahead.

You’ll explore:

• Transitioning into adulthood
• Long-term health and nutrition
• Lifestyle, enrichment, and companionship
• Celebrating the bond you’ve built

This is the chapter where everything starts to make sense.

Each edition is shipped to you quarterly, aligned with your puppy’s age, so the guidance arrives exactly when you need it—not all at once, and never too late.
