Puppy knowledge hub
Use age and development stage to focus on what matters now.
A puppy’s priorities change quickly across the first year. Age gives useful context, but development is not a pass-or-fail timetable. Use your puppy’s date of birth, current confidence, behaviour and household needs to choose the next useful action rather than comparing every milestone with another dog.
Use age to identify likely priorities, then adjust for the individual puppy.
Track progress across weeks instead of judging one difficult day.
Revisit routines as adolescence changes attention, confidence and independence.
