A realistic day for your puppy, built from their age and your wake-up time — meals, potty breaks, naps, play, and walks. Print it, stick it on the fridge, or copy it into your household chat.

Rules of thumb for a healthy puppy: 3–4 meals a day until about 12 weeks, then 3 until about 6 months; potty trips after every meal, nap, and play session; 18–20 hours of sleep a day; formal exercise around 5 minutes per month of age, up to twice daily. Your vet and your breed may adjust any of these.
You have a schedule for today. Pawlo runs it.
A puppy day has thirty-odd events in it, and half of them happen while the other person in the house isn't looking. Printed, this schedule tells you what should happen. It can't tell you whether the 2 PM potty trip actually did.
