About Dog Milestones

Helping dog owners feel confident in their puppy's development

Our Mission

At Dog Milestones, we believe that raising a puppy should be a joyful, confident experience—not an overwhelming one.

Too often, new dog owners are bombarded with conflicting advice, unrealistic expectations, and fear-based training methods. We're here to provide a different approach: clear, age-based guidance that respects both your puppy's developmental needs and your learning curve as a dog owner.

We focus on understanding normal puppy behavior, recognizing developmental milestones, and providing compassionate, evidence-based strategies for common challenges. Our goal is to help you understand what's happening in your puppy's world so you can support their growth with confidence.

Whether you're navigating puppy biting, sleep schedules, house training, or fear periods, we're here to provide the information and support you need to feel capable and informed.

Our Values

These principles guide everything we create and share.

Our Approach

Realistic Expectations

Puppies are baby animals going through rapid developmental changes. We help you understand what's normal for each age so you can respond appropriately rather than panic unnecessarily.

Positive Reinforcement

We promote training methods based on positive reinforcement, not punishment or dominance theory. Building trust and confidence creates lasting behavioral change.


No Aggressive Authority Claims

We're here as an educational resource, not as ultimate authorities. We encourage working with qualified professionals for personalized guidance and always recommend consulting your veterinarian for health concerns.
