The Spotless Christmas Puppy Kit: printed cover page with a cartoon puppy in a red scarf, gift card and door hanger pages fanned out behind it

Made for two kinds of Christmas

Giving a puppy, or getting one?

Giving a puppy as a gift

Put the leash, the bowl and a printed gift card under the tree: "A puppy is coming home!" Your puppy arrives once the house is quiet again, so the first days are calm instead of chaotic.

Print the first-days sheets and hand them over with the card. A thoughtful gift that says: I've got your back.

A new puppy home for the holidays

Stick the cheat sheet on the fridge, put the table card out before the guests arrive, and hang "Puppy sleeping" on the nap room door.

Everyone knows the rules without you repeating them twenty times, and you actually get to enjoy Christmas.

What's inside

Eleven pages. Every one of them earns its spot on the fridge.

Gift cards page: a red card 'A puppy is coming home!' and a green card 'Someone small can't wait to meet you.' — **Gift cards for under the tree**Two designs to cut out, with lines for the puppy's name and the day they come home.

Folding table card: 'Please don't feed the puppy. Even when those eyes say otherwise.' — **"Please don't feed the puppy"**A table card for your guests, with the six foods that are off limits. Fold it and stand it next to the turkey.

Christmas Day cheat sheet with six tiles — **Christmas Day cheat sheet**Potty moments, naps, guests, unwrapping, accidents. Everything on one page for the fridge.

Puppy captain schedule with four round cut-out badges — **Puppy captain schedule**One person is in charge at a time. Kids love the cut-out "Puppy Captain" badges.

Two door hangers: 'Puppy sleeping' and 'Puppy nap room' — **Door hangers for the nap room**"Shhh... puppy sleeping." Because a busy day needs a quiet corner.

Holiday safety list: foods, tree, decorations and emergency numbers — **Holiday safety list**15 Christmas hazards, from chocolate to tree water, plus space for your vet's number and two 24/7 poison hotlines.

The first three nights, as a tick-off routine — **The first three nights**A calm bedtime routine to tick off, with space to note when your puppy wakes.

The January plan: six small steps to practice alone time — **The January plan**Six small steps to practice alone time before everyone goes back to work.

Plus a cover page with a short note from me and a page with your next steps after the holidays.

Both included

Playful or classic. You choose.

The kit comes in two styles with the same 11 pages. The playful one has our cartoon puppy, red and green cards and handwritten touches. The classic one is calm and elegant, with a wreath instead of cartoons and lighter colors that save ink.

Print whichever fits your home, or mix them.

Why I made it

I've raised a few dogs, and I know how fast a holiday with a new puppy gets busy. It's easy for someone to slip the puppy a piece of ham under the table, for nobody to know who took the puppy out last, and for the little one to go without a nap since breakfast.

So I put everything I'd want on my own fridge onto a few pages you can simply print. No app, no account, no long read. Just stick them up and enjoy Christmas.

Questions

What exactly do I get?

A download with two PDFs, the playful and the classic style, each with the same 11 pages in US Letter size, plus a short how-to.

Is anything shipped to me?

No. It's a digital download you print at home or at a print shop. Nothing arrives by mail.

Do I need special paper?

Normal printer paper works. Cardstock makes the table card and the door hangers sturdier. Print at "Actual size" or 100%.

Can I print it more than once?

Yes, as often as your household needs. The puppy captain schedule is even meant to be printed once per day.

I'm giving a puppy. Can I pass the sheets on?

Yes. Print the gift card and the first-days sheets and give them with the puppy. Please don't share or resell the file itself.

Does it cover potty training?

It covers the holidays: when to take your puppy out on a busy day, what to do after an accident, and the first nights. For the weeks after, there's the free personal potty schedule and the full Puppy Potty Training System.
