The useful question is who meets your puppy's needs while you are unavailable. This guide turns your working hours into a confirmed care calendar: a supported first week, a map of every gap, named handovers and a plan for the days that change.

It works for office days, hybrid weeks and working from home, and it keeps care coverage separate from separation practice.

Made for you if

  • You have an office, hybrid or home-based job and a puppy on the way.
  • You need to coordinate a partner, family, a sitter or daycare.
  • You want every workday gap to have a name next to it before you rely on it.

Questions about this book

Will it tell me how long my puppy can be left alone?

No. The book helps you plan care around observed needs and a supported trial week. Ask your vet or a qualified behaviour professional about your puppy.

I work from home. Is it still useful?

Yes. Meetings you cannot leave count as unavailable time, and the calendar and handover pages apply at home too.

General information and planning only. Not medical, veterinary or other professional advice. Consult your vet or a qualified professional about your puppy’s individual needs.
