About PupStart

Happy puppy enjoying outdoor time

Every pup deserves a great start.

Our Mission

We started PupStart because we believe every puppy deserves a great start — and every new dog parent deserves clear, kind, science-backed guidance. Too much training advice out there is confusing, outdated, or based on punishment. We're here to change that.

PupStart combines expert-reviewed content, practical daily tools, and a milestone journal so you can celebrate every step of your puppy's journey. No yelling. No confusion. Just progress.

Our Values

Positive Reinforcement Only

We believe in reward-based training. No punishment, no dominance theory — just trust, patience, and treats.

Science-Backed Methods

Every guide and training plan is reviewed by veterinary behaviorists and grounded in peer-reviewed research.

Inclusive & Accessible

Whether you're a first-time puppy parent or a seasoned dog lover, PupStart meets you where you are.

Our Team

PupStart is built by a small, passionate team of dog lovers, developers, and animal behavior experts. We work closely with certified veterinary behaviorists and professional dog trainers to ensure every piece of content is accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely helpful.
