PupStartTraining Readiness Checklist
Before jumping into a new skill, make sure your puppy has the right foundation. Select a skill below and answer a few quick questions to find out if your pup is ready — or what to work on first.
Why Check Readiness Before Training?
Jumping into advanced skills before your puppy has the prerequisites leads to frustration for both of you. Each training skill builds on foundation behaviors — for example, a reliable “stay” requires that your puppy can already hold a sit and understands a release word.
This checklist helps you assess whether the building blocks are in place, so you can train smarter and see faster results. The PupStart app automatically sequences skills in the right order for your puppy’s age and progress.
