What to do in the next fifteen minutes.

New puppies fail on timing, not on love. Sit runs the feed / crate / potty / sleep clock through the first months, adapts as the dog grows, and keeps the whole household on one routine instead of four improvised ones.

A printed chart taped to the fridge is wrong within a month, because the puppy it was written for no longer exists. Sit is keyed to the age instead — the meals step down, the potty interval stretches, the training focus advances, and none of it has to be looked up again.

§ I — The program

The love was never
the problem.

What Sit puts on the clock, what it refuses to decide for you, and the promise attached to the one payment.

Timing is the whole job

Almost every first-months disaster is a clock failure wearing a behaviour costume. The accident by the door was a missed after-nap trip. The biting at six in the evening is an overtired puppy who has been awake five hours. The refused dinner was a meal offered too soon after the last one.

Sit does not coach any of that. It puts the next thing on a real time — feed, crate, potty, sleep — and tells you what it is now, so the fifteen minutes in front of you have an answer that does not require you to have read anything.

The next fifteen minutes

One routine, not four

A puppy in a household of four is usually being raised by four different programs at once: one person free-feeds, one lets the crate door stand open, one takes it out on waking and one does not, and the puppy is blamed for the inconsistency.

The schedule is the shared object. It sits on one screen, in one order, with the same times for everyone in the house — so the argument at eight in the evening is settled by reading it rather than by whoever is most certain.

One clock

It moves when the puppy does

The interval a puppy can hold is roughly an hour for each month of age, which means the correct schedule is obsolete every few weeks. That is precisely the arithmetic nobody performs at six in the morning.

Bump the age and the whole day re-times itself: four meals become three and then two, the potty gaps widen, the night trip drops away, and the training focus moves from name and crate to leave-it and leash to the long argument of adolescence.

Re-timed weekly

It schedules; your vet decides

Sit follows widely published raising norms — the feeding steps, the hour-per-month interval, the socialisation window, the shape of the core vaccine series. It is general guidance and it says so on every page that carries a date.

It will not tell you how much to put in the bowl, when to vaccinate, or when to spay or neuter. Those depend on breed, size and health, they belong to the person who has examined your dog, and a schedule that answered them would be pretending to a qualification it does not hold.

Not veterinary advice

The oath attached to the price

Seven days free first, with the whole schedule running and no card asked. After that, one payment of $14.99 — the puppy grows up, the billing does not continue. There is no second purchase behind it: no breed pack, no video store, no subscription that arrives quietly in the second year.

Thirty days, money back, no reasons asked. The schedule and the notes stay on the device, so nothing is stranded either way — a record we never receive cannot be sold, leaked, or handed on by whoever owns this company later.

No ads, no pet-food sponsorships. Nobody pays us to have their kibble appear at 7a, which is the only reason the meal times can be honest.

The house's word

The test of a puppy schedule is not the week it lays out a perfect day. It is the Tuesday nobody slept, when the only useful thing in the house is a clock that already knows what happens next. In Case, No. 12 in the same register, does this for the paperwork a family will one day have to find — a sibling, not a next step.

Standing prohibitions

Five things Sit will not do, held as terms of the program rather than as a roadmap that can quietly change.

  • No ads, and no pet-food, insurance, breeder or trainer sponsorship — at any price
  • No cloud copy of your puppy's record, and no sync switched on without you switching it on
  • No account, email address, or sign-in wall standing in front of the day's schedule
  • No second purchase — no breed packs, no video library, no subscription arriving later
  • No diagnosis, no dosing, and no vaccine date presented as anything but general guidance
§ II

§ II — The purchase

One payment, and the puppy
outgrows it first.

Bought outright on the day you buy it, and carried from homecoming to the first birthday.

One payment

$14.99

Seven days free to run the whole schedule, then one payment and it is yours — every release after it, for this puppy and the next one. There is nothing to renew, nothing to cancel, and nothing that turns into a bill when the hard months are over.

§ III

§ III — Questions

Asked at six in
the morning.

The six questions a household actually has in the first fortnight, answered without a course to sell at the end of them.

How often does a puppy actually need to go out?

Roughly one hour for each month of age during the day — a two-month-old tops out near two hours — and that is a ceiling, not a target. The interval matters less than the four predictable triggers: on waking, within minutes of every meal, after every nap, and after any burst of play. Most "she went the moment we came back inside" stories are a missed after-meal or after-nap trip. Sit puts those on real clock times, spread across the hours you actually keep, and stretches them as the weeks pass.

Will it get us through the night?

Not immediately, and any product that promises otherwise is selling you a bladder your puppy does not have yet. Expect at least one overnight trip for the first weeks: outside, potty, praise, straight back to the crate, no play and no conversation. The stretch lengthens on its own, usually reaching morning somewhere around four to five months. What Sit does is keep the evening consistent and shrink the night trip on schedule, so the sleepless stretch is as short as it is supposed to be rather than accidentally extended by an improvised week.

Everyone in the house does it differently. Does that fix itself?

It does not, and the puppy pays for it. Inconsistent house-training is the single most common reason the first months take three times as long as they should. Sit exists to be the one object everyone reads: the same meal times, the same potty trips, the same crate rules, on one screen, so the disagreement at eight in the evening ends by looking rather than by arguing. No account is needed for that — the schedule is on the phone, and anyone in the room can be shown it.

The other puppy apps are subscriptions. What is the $14.99 buying?

The whole thing, once. Raising a puppy is an intense few months and then it is over, so a subscription in this category is a bill that outlives its own usefulness — people finish the hard part and keep paying for years out of inertia. $14.99 is one payment, with seven days free before it and thirty days to ask for it back after it, and there is nothing else to buy afterwards. Keep it for the next puppy; it will still work, because it runs on your phone rather than on a server we have to keep renting.

Does it tell me when to vaccinate, or how much to feed?

No, and it will not be talked into it. Sit marks that the core series generally runs across the early months and that the socialisation window closes near fourteen weeks, because those are timing facts a schedule should hold. The actual dates, the actual portions, and every spay, neuter or medical decision belong to your veterinarian, who has met your dog and knows its breed, size and health. Sit is general puppy-raising guidance and never veterinary advice, and it says so on every sheet.

There is a free schedule builder on this site. Why buy the app?

Because they are different things, and we would rather say so than blur it. The builder on this site is free, runs entirely in your browser, and gives you today's day for any age — it is not a demo and it is not going behind a wall. The app is the version that remembers this specific puppy, re-times the day as the weeks pass, holds the household's notes, and tells you what is next without being asked. If the free page is all you need, take it and go; nothing here depends on you not noticing that.
