Puppy Days

Follow six families in different states across the country as they bring new puppies into their homes. Before these new pup parents can embark on this unforgettable journey, they must first choose the perfect dog for their needs and lifestyle. For some, it's a well-researched decision. For others, it's love at first sight.

After adjusting to having the new puppies in their households, the families now have to deal with potty training their pooches. For all the families and puppies, it's a steep learning curve.

The puppies are now 10 weeks old and are settling into their new homes. They are growing up fast, developing stubborn streaks, refusing to do their business outside and becoming more mischievous.

The puppies are now almost 14-weeks-old and the "golden" period of puppy training will soon come to an end. The new owners use this time to teach their dogs behaviors that they want them to learn before becoming adult dogs, but they soon realize they need training just as much as the pups.

The puppies are almost four months old, and the families are working on training the dogs before they develop bad habits that they will carry into adulthood.

The six puppies have all had two months to settle into their new homes, and we see how the dogs and their families have developed, adjusted and learned to live together. As their worlds expand, they need to learn to cope with new experiences – from sleeping under canvas tents, to trips to the beach, to being professionally groomed and meeting new groups of people.

Raising a puppy is tough work, but we have some tips and tricks to make it easier for both you and your pooch. Learn the do's and don'ts of teaching your pup how to sleep through the night, behave for vet visits, socialize with other dogs and more. This is your how-to guide for raising the perfect puppy.
