The first week with a new puppy is mostly about safety, sleep, a steady routine and trust. This 17-page printable kit puts all of that on paper so you are not making it up at 3 a.m. Start before pickup with the shopping list, the room-by-room puppy-proofing checklist and the questions to ask your breeder or shelter. Then follow the night-one plan, a sample daily schedule you can adapt, a simple potty game plan and one card for each of Days 1 to 7, with tick boxes and space for notes. A family rules sheet keeps everyone using the same words, the vet prep sheet helps you get the most out of the first visit, and the 7-day log helps you spot potty and sleep patterns. Everything is reward-based. It is general information, not veterinary advice: vaccine, parasite and socialization timing always defer to your vet. It is the prequel to The 28-Day Puppy Quest.
