A practical home training book for puppy owners in the first three months after bringing a dog home. It gives a step by step plan for helping a puppy stay calmer around new sights, sounds, and visitors without flooding the puppy with too much too soon. It focuses on normal daily triggers such as vacuum cleaners, doorbells, traffic, kitchen clatter, delivery knocks, and unfamiliar people.

Within 21 days, the reader can set up a daily calm exposure routine that reduces startle responses during three common home sounds and two neighborhood sights, while building a steady routine the puppy can handle.
