Is The First 30 Days Right for You?
This course is designed for people who want more than a collection of commands. It provides a practical path for understanding how attention, communication, everyday skills, and confidence develop together—and how to adjust when your puppy does not respond exactly as expected.
✓ You are preparing to bring home a new puppy and want a clear plan from the beginning.
✓ You already have a young puppy and need help creating productive routines and training habits.
✓ You have an older puppy or adult dog who is beginning foundational training.
✓ You want to see complete training sessions rather than demonstrations that begin after everything is already working.
✓ You want to understand what your puppy’s behavior may be communicating and make thoughtful training decisions.
✓ You prefer a self-paced course that you can revisit as your puppy grows.
A Full Month of Training, Shown in Real Time
The course begins with two days devoted to teaching you how to help your new puppy settle into their new home, followed by 28 days of training Bingley with approximately three short sessions each day. More than 85 sessions are shown from beginning to end, so you can see how learning develops across days—not simply watch isolated demonstrations of finished behaviors.
Lessons build naturally from attention, communication, and early household routines into foundational skills, place training, leash work, confidence building, and training around everyday distractions. Because the sessions follow one real puppy over time, you can see how earlier lessons influence later progress and how the approach changes as Bingley grows.

What You Will Learn and Practice
The course brings communication, practical skills, household routines, and confidence building together rather than treating them as unrelated lessons. Along the way, Sarah explains what she notices, why she makes each training decision, and how the same principles can be adapted for your own puppy.
Communication and Attention
Build engagement, introduce cues thoughtfully, recognize confusion, and help your puppy understand what earns reinforcement.
Foundational Skills
Work through sit, down, stay, place training, targeting, release cues, and other skills that support everyday communication.
Kennel Skills and Household Routines
See how Bingley develops a positive association with the crate, begins learning the kennel cue, and practices entering willingly as part of his everyday routine. The course also shows how supervision, consistency, settling, and clear household expectations support learning during the first month.
Recall, Leash Work, and Door Manners
Practice attention before recall, loose-leash walking, beginning heel work, doorway skills, and training around movement and distractions.
Working Through Distractions and Setbacks
Watch what happens when Bingley becomes distracted, confused, tired, or more interested in something else. Sarah explains what she notices and demonstrates how changing the environment, simplifying the exercise, or adjusting the expectations can help the puppy succeed.
Everyday Confidence and Early Exposure
See how confidence and socialization naturally become part of Bingley’s training as he encounters new places, experiences, surfaces, sounds, and everyday distractions. For a more structured, step-by-step approach to socialization and confidence building, explore the Growing a Confident Puppy course.
More Than Video Lessons: Resources You Can Keep
The First 30 Days includes an extensive collection of carefully developed companion guides, reference handbooks, lesson outlines, and printable downloads. Together, the three featured guides provide 80 pages of guided support you can download, print, and revisit as your puppy grows. These materials are designed to help you understand the concepts behind the sessions, quickly revisit important information, and apply what you are learning with the puppy in front of you.
Rather than relying on memory after watching a video, you can return to the written resources whenever a question arises or a skill needs more attention. They bring the course’s explanations, practical guidance, and key training principles together in a format you can continue using long after completing the 30-day path.

Meet Sarah Cochran
I’m Sarah Cochran, the puppy trainer and educator behind The Trainable Puppy and the founder of SDG Goldens. For years, I have raised, evaluated, and trained puppies from birth through placement while helping families learn how to work with puppies whose personalities, confidence, motivations, and learning styles differ. My background as a research scientist shapes the way I follow current literature, study behavior, and turn complex learning principles into practical decisions puppy owners can use. I created The First 30 Days from complete, real-life sessions with Bingley so you can see not only what I teach, but what I notice, why I adjust, and how you can make those same thoughtful decisions for your own puppy.
Questions About The First 30 Days
What age is this course designed for?
The course follows Bingley from approximately 8 to 12 weeks of age, making it especially valuable for new and soon-to-be puppy owners. However, the communication, attention, and foundational-training principles can also help owners of older puppies or adult dogs who are beginning foundational training.
How is the course organized?
The course begins with Bingley’s first 48 hours at home and continues through 28 days of training. You will watch approximately three short, real-life sessions per day, with more than 85 complete sessions filmed from beginning to end.
Do I need previous dog-training experience?
No. Sarah explains what she notices, why she makes each adjustment, and how you can use your puppy’s response to decide what to do next. The videos and downloadable resources are designed to help first-time owners understand the process without requiring previous training knowledge.
What downloadable resources are included?
The course includes the Course Companion Workbook, the Behind the Behavior guide, and the Lesson Reference Handbook. Together, these resources help you record your puppy’s progress, understand what may be affecting behavior and learning, review important training concepts, and apply the lessons to the puppy in front of you.
Is the course self-paced?
Yes. You can move through the course at the pace that works for you and your puppy, and your purchase includes lifetime access so you can revisit the sessions and resources as your puppy grows.
How is this course different from the focused courses?
The First 30 Days shows how communication, attention, practical skills, and everyday training develop together through complete sessions with one puppy. Potty and Crate Training provides the complete focused process for potty routines, crate association, and troubleshooting. Growing a Confident Puppy provides deeper, step-by-step guidance for thoughtful socialization and confidence building, including its Guided Socialization Planner.
What support is available if I have questions?
Your enrollment includes 24/7 access to a digital course assistant trained on Sarah’s teaching and course materials. You can ask questions anytime, revisit important concepts, locate the lesson or resource you need, and better understand the approach demonstrated throughout the course. This automated learning tool is available whenever questions arise, so you do not have to wait until business hours to continue learning. For technical help accessing the course or downloadable materials, contact Sarah at Info@TheTrainablePuppy.com.
