This diary follows the journey of my puppy Lion through his first months of life. It covers everything we do together — everyday life, potty training, play, and the foundation exercises that will later support his sport career. My dogs share our home and daily life as true family members, so this diary is not only about developing a future agility dog. It is first and foremost about raising a puppy who becomes a wonderful companion — a dog who can live, travel, and enjoy everyday life with us, and only then a great sports partner.

 

The training follows a structured timeline, starting at 8 weeks of age, to keep the process transparent and easy to follow. Each stage includes detailed explanations of the exercises I use—how I train them, why I include them, and how to troubleshoot common challenges along the way.

The first week is already available. The second week will be released on 8.4., after which new content will be published in two-week blocks every other Wednesday:

8.4., 22.4., 6.5., 20.5., 3.6., 17.6., 1.7., 15.7., 29.7., 5.8.

 

This diary follows Lion’s training and development up to 7 months of age. After that, I will continue documenting his journey in a new series, exploring the next stage of his growth—from adolescence to young adulthood. The exact format and content of the next series will be revealed as we progress.
