Ultimate Puppy Survival Guide

Shade

Shade is a Cane Corso puppy who had a LOT to learn when he came home with us! The series starts before his first night, with the preparation that makes bringing a puppy home easier, and takes you through all of his introductions to basic training, meeting other dogs, socialization in public, house training, dealing with potty accidents and chewing, important skills like recall and all the new puppy challenges you can think of!

A new puppy in a house with dogs

Shade was 14 weeks old when we met and started his series. We began this one with the same everyday questions many puppy families face: how to get through the first night, teach those first skills, integrate your new puppy and other dogs or pets, and how to start going in public and walking together.

Sharing the house adds another layer to puppy series like Shade’s. You can watch his interactions with Inertia and Veronica alongside the individual lessons, including how we manage space in a house with 3 dogs, and how we work on getting the dogs comfortable with one another.

This series is especially useful if you want to see the foundations with a larger or stronger puppy, or you are bringing a new puppy into a home that already has a dog.
