The first month with a rescue dog is the hard part: the hiding, the alone time panic, the not knowing what’s normal.
Everything for a calmer start in one bundle. The full First Month Plan includes help with alone time worry, house rules, triggers and daily routines.
What’s inside
65 printable pages, kept where you’ll actually use them.
The Rescue Dog First Month Plan
The complete 32 page plan for weeks 1 to 4: routines, vet prep, body language, visitors and common first month challenges.
When You Leave
A gentle, no punishment starter plan for alone time worry, with a step by step ladder and a daily log.
Calm Home Rules
Print and post signs for visitors, kids and the safe spot, so the whole family gives the same steady message.
Trigger tracker + routine cards
Spot what worries your dog and track triggers and recovery over time, plus cut out cards for a steady day.
Who it’s for
This is for you if…
- Anyone who just adopted a shelter, rescue, foster or rehomed dog
- Owners facing hiding, alone time panic or a nervous first month
- Families who want everyone on the same page
Maybe not, if…
- Owners of a long settled dog with no adjustment worries
- Anyone who only wants the base plan (the $9 First Month Plan is sold on its own)
Questions
I already have the First Month Plan. Is this a repeat?
The bundle includes it, plus four add ons you don’t have yet. If you only want the base plan, it’s still $9 on its own.
Is the anxiety plan a training program?
It’s a gentle starter, and it says clearly when to bring in your vet or a certified trainer. It never replaces professional help for severe cases.
How do I get it?
One PDF you download right after buying, 65 pages, yours to keep and print. It also lands in your inbox.
