The jacket of Volume Three, Locus CODE, Puppy, by Alisa Groen: a forest green field carrying the wax seal above the script wordmark, with an engraved puppy sitting tone on tone behind it

The problem

A new puppy, and a lot of questions.

  • No plan for day one.
  • Biting, crying and short nights.
  • Advice from everyone, and none of it agrees.
Alisa showing an owner how to hold a treat while their young dog sits at their feet on a loose lead
Alisa bending towards a spaniel sitting up and looking at her hand, the lead loose

This will be you.

  1. Day one has a plan.The house is ready and everyone agrees on the basics.
  2. Nights get quieter.He learns to settle, sleep and switch off.
  3. Nothing to undo later.A calm routine from the start, not habits to fix in a year.
A Locus class on the grass by the sea, owners standing well apart, each with a small dog at their feet

From day one, your puppy asks one question

Is the person holding my lead handling this?

Answer it early, and he never has to take the job on himself. This book shows you how, from the first day home.

Questions

What do I get, and how does it arrive?

Puppy Guidance and the Locus CODE Workspace, for one payment, no subscription. Your access link appears as soon as you pay. It is an online book, not a download or a print copy: the link opens it in the browser on your own phone, tablet or computer, and opens the Workspace too.

Do I need Volume 01 first?

Yes. Foundation is the book this one builds on, so Puppy Guidance is sold with it: both books and the Workspace for $344. If you already own Foundation, add Puppy Guidance on its own for $97.

My puppy arrives in a fortnight?

Read it now: most of it is setup before the puppy is home. A first private session ($90, 60 minutes, in your home or at the training location) plans your first weeks.

Will it work for my puppy?

Yes, whatever the breed. It is about the first weeks and months at home, which every puppy has, and the habits you set in them.

Can I change my mind?

Yes, within 14 days, as long as you have not opened the book. Once it is open the sale is final, and if something is wrong on our side we put it right. The refund policy has the detail.
