Puppy Stage Finder
FIND YOUR PUPPY’S STAGE.
Enter your puppy’s date of birth and the go-home / program start date. Age comes from the birth date; the program week and stage come only from the start date.
The Sequence
Stage 1 · Weeks 1–11
Stage 2 · Weeks 1–9
Stage 3 · Weeks 1–5
Stage 4 · Weeks 1–9
Then · The Forever Rules
This is an estimate. The sequence in the book and your puppy’s observed development guide decisions.
General context only: Stage 2 typically begins around five to six months of age. It is context, never a cutoff — the program follows the sequence, not the calendar.
