Keep in mind

  • ●Always take the puppy out after meals, naps, and play — not only on the interval.
  • ●Keep training sessions short (about 5 minutes) and end on a win.
  • ●Prime socialization window (3–14 weeks): safe, positive new sights, sounds, people, and surfaces now pay off for life.
  • ●General guidance based on AKC-style timelines — vaccine and spay/neuter timing are your veterinarian’s call.

General guidance only. Sit is an educational planning tool, not veterinary advice. Every puppy is an individual: feeding amounts and frequency, exercise limits, and especially vaccine and spay/neuter timing depend on your puppy's breed, size, and health — those are your veterinarian's call. Timelines here follow widely-published AKC-style norms and may not fit your dog. When in doubt, ask your vet.
