Getting started

Feeling a little lost on what to do first? We’ve got you. Here are some essential resources to help you navigate life as a new pet parent.

Puppy Parent School

Class is in session. This course covers 12 essential skills so you can handle this very cute but very crazy time.

Lesson 1
Hand Feeding, Potty Training
Teach your dog two of the biggest basics: how to eat and where to use the bathroom... besides your bedroom floor.
Lesson 2
Tug, Handling, Vocal Cue
Help your pet get used to playing, being picked up, getting (tons of) pets and the basics of vocal cues and clickers.
Lesson 3
Learning Names, Crate Training
Before you go full nickname-mode, teach your puppy their real name. And take on the ultimate pup parent challenge: crate training.

Nutrition
