Can't just mail one thing...so much useful info. I like the fact I can look ahead to see what to expect, and what to do.

This guide is EVERYTHING! If you’re wondering if you should buy it, the answer is YES! My puppy is doing so well because of this guide. I didn’t know anything about raising a puppy so I bought this guide and followed it very closely. I keep seeing videos on TikTok of people complaining about puppy blues, excessive biting & barking etc. I haven’t had to deal with any of that because the moment my puppy started biting I went right to the guide and did what it said and she stopped within a day. I am able to enjoy and love my puppy every day because of this guide and the help of Stacy Greer! 10/10 Recommend!

Whitney, first of all, your puppy is ADORABLE. 🥹🩵 And then I read your review and seriously just sat here smiling. ☺️ The part about being able to actually ENJOY your puppy every day because you had a plan to follow means so much to me. That is exactly why I made the guide. I wanted puppy owners to have somewhere to turn the second something pops up instead of waiting until they’re completely overwhelmed. 🙌🏼🥳 And hearing that you went straight to the biting section, followed it, and saw such a fast change? That makes me ridiculously happy. You're doing all the work, so way to go! 👏🏼💙 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and for sharing those sweet pictures too. 🫶🏼💜

The Ultimate Puppy Survival Guide from Sunshine Dog Training has been such a helpful tool as we navigate life with our new puppy! Stacy covers a variety of topics that make puppy training feel much less overwhelming. I especially love that she includes links to recommended puppy supplies and helpful videos to watch, which makes everything so convenient and easy to follow. She also follows up with you to see how things are going and whether you have any questions, which is so thoughtful and reassuring.
You can tell a lot of thought went into creating this guide. I would definitely recommend it to anyone bringing home a new puppy! 🐾❤️

Ashley, thank you SO much for this. 🥹🩵 It really means a lot to hear that the guide is making puppy life feel a little less overwhelming and that you’re finding the links helpful too. And thank you for sharing that adorable puppy photo too ... that fluffball looks like you'll be referring to my guide often! 😁😂 Please keep me posted on how things are going, and reach out anytime something doesn’t quite come together. 🫶🏼💜

Working out pretty well! 10 weeks and he knows how to sit, down, knows his name and comes when called and touches my hand when he reaches me! Sleeping in a crate 7 hours per night!. Working on potty training and it is going pretty well. Thanks!

The course offers a lot of very practical information. Found the daytime scheduling ideas very helpful. Also, Stacy's videos on social media are also helpful - and funny! Reasonable price for a lot of great puppy information! Hadn't had a 8-week old puppy in many, many years - I definitely needed a refresher!

Stacy’s Ultimate Puppy Survival Guide isn’t just for first-time puppy parents. Even after raising four dogs throughout my adult life, this guide has helped me tremendously with my Yorkie, Sadie. Her practical advice and real-life videos on social media are amazing; she doesn’t simply tell you what to do; she shows you in a clear, relatable way that really gets the point across. No matter how much experience you have with dogs, there is always something new to learn. I highly recommend Stacy, her guide, and her videos!

I found the guide through Stacey's TikToks and loved them. The guide is clear and I love the videos attached.
Highly recommend for people BEFORE they get their new best friend and if not before, definitely after.

Thank you so much, Lauretta! 💜 And seeing Frankie’s picture again just reminded me how ridiculously adorable she is. 😍🥰 I’m so glad you found me through TikTok and that the guide has been helpful, especially the videos alongside it. I also love that you mentioned getting it before puppy comes home because having that roadmap ahead of time can make those first few weeks feel so much less chaotic. 😅 Thank you, again, for recommending it and for taking the time to leave such a sweet review! ☺️🩵

There is a lot of great advice for new puppy owners. It's been 14 years since I have had a puppy so it's all new to me. I refer to the book and gain confidence that I'm doing some things well. I will keep referring to the info to help me achieve having a calm, happy puppy!

Thank you so much! ☺️🧡 And first, your fluffy little pup is absolutely adorable. That face!! 🥰 After that many years without a puppy, I can completely understand why it feels like learning everything all over again. I love hearing that you’re using the guide not only for advice, but also as reassurance that you’re already doing a lot of things right. 👏🏼💛 Keep referring back to it as your puppy grows because those needs and challenges change so quickly. I’m so happy it’s helping you feel more confident while you work toward that calm, happy pup! 🐶🐾

The guide was simple to follow with lots of great information. I was able to read it and start implementing the same day! Highly recommend.

Megan, thank you so much! 🥹🩵 That means the world to me. One of my biggest goals was to make the guide easy to follow so puppy owners could start using it right away instead of feeling overwhelmed. I'm so glad you were able to dive in and start implementing it the same day. Thank you for your recommendation to other puppy owners! ☺️🐶💜

Stacey’s puppy survival guide is an absolute must BEFORE bringing your puppy home! I bought it after I was struggling without 12 week old pup. Her guide is incredibly comprehensive, clear, and illustrated -complete with trouble shooting, schedules, and great suggestions all while being relatable to our family and our uniquely spunky puppy, Mercy.

Mercy was struggling to go into her crate without barking and crying for an hour for naps and sleeping only short bursts, she fought us during training for recall, and was overstimulated and biting us all day. We were going out of our minds wondering what we’d gotten ourselves into to!

After reading and implementing Stacey’s tips for success and consistency in executing schedules that were easy to set up and stick to- Mercy is now taking great daytime naps in her crate which has greatly reduced the previously constant biting. She is coming when called, and is a generally happier puppy which means we are a happier family.

If you are bringing home a puppy in the future and you want to know how to set yourself and your pup up for success from the get go- you NEED this guide. If, like our family you are at your wits end wondering what you were thinking by getting a puppy- you definitely need this guide to get you all on track and enjoying each other again. Our home is more joyful with our puppy thriving and we are all more able to enjoy the time with our girl while she’s still little and we are all learning from each other. We still have struggles, but I definitely feel more prepared to handle them now.

Thanks Stacey!!

Thank you so much for your incredible feedback but mostly I'm so incredibly happy that I've been able to help your family and Mercy live happily together moving along with success! Keep up the good work and Mercy is adorable!

Practical advice, my only observation is that a searchable content/ index would help as you have to scroll through to find the piece you need right now!

The Puppy Survival Guide has been a fabulous resource for us!!! And I reached out to Stacey for some advice and she quickly responded w/ some wonderful tips we used right away. I’ve referred to the Guide many times in the past week (1st week w/ puppy at home at 8 weeks). I would recommend this guide for anyone w/ a new pup!! 🐾

Finally somebody totally gets it! I have gone to so many you tube channels and instagram dog trainers and NOBODY gets the life of a puppy parent until I found Stacy! her books are soooo helpful, they make you feel less alone and like you have a knowledgable, caring partner to walk through this journey with! Thank you Stacy!!! You are the best!!

Just brought home my little Rue home today 9/5/26. But I bought The Ultimate Puppy Survival Guide about a week or so prior to her coming home. After reading the information for the first few weeks what to expect, I feel ready and equipped! I’ll keep you posted in a few weeks!

Worth every penny so far. I thought because i had raised a very lovable calm behaved puppy before, it would be so similar. WRONG. This has helped me make little changes that have paid off almost immediately. Thank you!
