Free Goldendoodle Puppy First-Week Checklist

Bringing a Goldendoodle puppy home soon? Our free, printable First-Week Checklist puts everything from our first-week guide on two pages: what to have ready, what to book, what to do on day one, a simple potty schedule, and what to watch for in the first seven days.

We put it together from the notes we gave our own puppy families during our years raising English Goldendoodle litters. Enter your email below and we’ll send you the PDF straight away. You’ll also get four short emails over the next three weeks with our most useful guides on the crate and potty training, grooming, feeding and health. We don’t sell anything and we no longer breed, so there are no puppies or sales pitches in these emails. You can unsubscribe with one click.

What’s in the checklist

  • The supplies list: crate with a divider, puppy area, bowls, collar, leash and ID, grooming tools, chew toys and enzyme cleaner
  • Appointments to book before pick-up day, and the numbers to save in your phone
  • A puppy-proofing walk-through, with the common household poisons to put away
  • Day one, the first nights in the crate, and a potty-break schedule you can stick on the fridge
  • Feeding, socialization and handling goals for the first week, and when to call the vet
