The Wag & Grow Puppy Roadmap is a printable puppy training planner and guide that takes you from the day your puppy comes home at 8 weeks all the way to their second birthday. Instead of piecing together advice from a dozen websites, you get one clear, week-by-week plan with training goals, socialization ideas, health reminders and simple logs. You also get an editable spreadsheet tracker that does the math for you.
What This Puppy Training Planner Does
Raising a puppy is joyful, and it can also be overwhelming. Wag & Grow breaks the first two years into ten age stages. Each stage page tells you what to focus on, how often your puppy will likely need potty breaks, how much they sleep, how long training sessions should be, and which goals to tick off next. Everything is built around kind, reward-based training that beginners can follow.
Alongside the roadmap you get practical tools: a potty training playbook and logs, a 7-step crate training plan, cheat sheets for 12 essential cues, a 100-experience socialization checklist, health and vaccine records, and more.
Who It’s For
- First-time puppy owners who want a calm, step-by-step plan
- Families who want everyone using the same cue words and routine
- Experienced owners who love organized, printable records
- Anyone bringing home a new puppy, or raising one up to 2 years old

Main Benefits
- A clear plan for every age: know exactly what to work on at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months and beyond.
- Fewer potty accidents: spot your puppy’s rhythm with the daily log, the hour-by-hour weekly tracker and the spreadsheet’s “trips by hour” chart.
- Better manners, faster: each cue has a hand signal, three simple steps and a pro tip.
- A confident, easygoing dog: 100 socialization experiences with space to track how relaxed your puppy felt.
