🐾 What Is the Puppy Training Planner?
The Puppy Training Planner is a free, interactive tool designed to help new and experienced dog owners build a structured, week-by-week training roadmap tailored to their puppy's age, breed, and learning pace.
Training a puppy can feel overwhelming — there are hundreds of commands to teach, routines to establish, and common mistakes to avoid. This planner simplifies the entire process by turning your goals into a clear, manageable schedule, so both you and your puppy can succeed without the guesswork.
Whether you're working on basic obedience like "Sit" and "Stay," tackling potty training, or building advanced skills like loose-leash walking and recall, the planner organises everything into focused daily sessions with built-in progress tracking and a daily training log.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
The planner uses a simple, 4-step process to create your personalised puppy training schedule:
Enter Puppy Profile
Provide your puppy's name, breed, age in weeks, and your experience level as an owner.
Choose Your Goals
Select the skills you want to teach — from basic commands to socialisation and crate training.
Set Your Schedule
Pick your plan duration, session length, sessions per day, start date, and preferred reward method.
Generate & Track
Receive a full week-by-week plan, skill progress tracker, and a daily log to record each session.
🧮 The Formula & Methodology
The planner is based on the widely-accepted principles of positive reinforcement training and age-appropriate session guidelines:
- Session Length Rule: Puppies can focus for approximately 1 minute per week of age. A 10-week-old puppy should train for no more than 10 minutes per session to avoid mental fatigue.
- Skill Distribution: The tool distributes your selected goals evenly across the plan duration, grouping related skills (e.g., sit → stay → lie down) to build on each success progressively.
- Frequency Formula: Total Training Time = Sessions Per Day × Session Length × 7 days × Plan Weeks. The plan ensures this total is achievable and sustainable.
- Progress Tracking: Each skill is tracked on a 0–100% mastery scale. The planner uses a staged model — Introduction → Recognition → Reliable → Proofed — aligned with professional dog training standards.
- Reward Calibration: The recommended reward method is factored into session tips to maximise motivation for your specific puppy.
