Completely Free

Two complete topics. No strings attached.

Not teasers. Not previews. Every section, every checklist item, every red flag alert — fully unlocked.

🐾
Topic 1 — Free

Bite Inhibition & Mouthing

Why it matters first: The critical window closes at 16 weeks. Most owners don't know this until their puppy is already biting hard — and the opportunity has passed.
  • What "bite inhibition" actually means (and why it's not about pain)
  • Why the yelp method backfires on high-drive breeds
  • The Reverse Time-Out technique — and why it works when nothing else does
  • Two Weeks, Two Feet — the rule for households with kids
  • Red flags that require a professional trainer immediately
  • 4-item progress checklist with medal tracking

Topic 2 — Free

Crate Training

Why it comes second: Night one without a crate protocol is chaos. The crate is the single management tool that makes everything else — sleep, training, alone time — actually work.
  • The mindset shift required before you even open the crate
  • The step-by-step introduction protocol (no forcing, no panic)
  • The exact schedule for the first two weeks of overnight crating
  • Normal whining vs. real distress — how to tell them apart
  • The single most common mistake that permanently ruins crate training
  • 4-item progress checklist with medal tracking

Inside Every Topic

Three things every topic gives you

Written by trainers who've worked through every scenario with real dogs.

✓ Do This — Bite Inhibition
  • Use extra-long tug toys — keep hands completely out of reach
  • Keep frozen chews available — they soothe teething gums
  • Use the Reverse Time-Out: you leave for 30–60 seconds
  • Track week-over-week: bites getting less pressure = real progress
✗ Don't Do This
  • Never roughhouse with bare hands — this is non-negotiable
  • Don't yelp with high-drive breeds — it spikes arousal and worsens biting
  • Don't redirect to a toy every time — teaches biting to start play sessions
🚨 Red Flags — Call a Trainer
  • Puppy bites, stiffens, locks eyes, and won't release
  • Hard growl (not a play growl) accompanied by biting
  • Bites getting harder after 4+ weeks of consistent work

From Owners Like You

What happens when you start early

Real experiences from dog owners who used ReadPuppy during their puppy's critical period.

★★★★★

"I can't recommend Gevorg, his team and their training services enough. Ellie is an 8 month old golden with a very strong personality. I had reached my wits end after trying adamantly to train her on my own."

★★★★★

"Gevorg and his team are incredible. Tuck cannot control his excitement when we pull up for a day of training. The difference in our dog has been remarkable — he is calmer, more focused, and an absolute joy to be around."

★★★★★

"I have nothing but positive things to say about Gevorg and his team. He is patient, dedicated, and has helped tremendously with my border collie who struggles with severe car and people reactivity."

The People Behind It

17+ years of behavior modification, in one guide

A professional training facility in Massachusetts specializing in prevention-first, relationship-based methods. This is the same curriculum used in our Board & Train program — the one that typically costs $2,500+.

ReadPuppy exists because most owners come to us when problems are already established. We built this so that every new puppy owner can access professional guidance from day one, not after something goes wrong.

Common Questions

Questions

Topic 1 (Bite Inhibition & Mouthing) and Topic 2 (Crate Training) are completely free — every section, every checklist item, every red flag alert. You also get a daily schedule preview for your puppy's current age. No expiry, no trial period, no credit card.
Because those are the two things every new owner is dealing with on night one. Bite inhibition and crate training are where most owners make their first and most costly mistakes. We want to help immediately, even before you decide to upgrade.
All 10 topics, your complete daily schedule, the full medal progress system across all 10 topics, and 1 trainer question answered by a real professional trainer via email. One payment, lifetime access, no subscription ever.
Yes — one click from inside the app. Your progress on the free topics carries over, your puppy profile stays intact, and everything unlocks immediately.
The guide is still valuable — many prevention principles apply at any age under 6 months. But the sooner you start, the better. The app shows you exactly which windows are still open for your puppy's current age.
All breeds. The guide is breed-agnostic, with specific notes where genetics matter most — like why the yelp method backfires on high-drive breeds, or why herding dogs need extra mouthing work.
