QUICK SUMMARY A 3-month-old Labrador puppy is full of energy, very curious and loves to chew. In an apartment with two young children, the keys are a predictable routine, frequent toilet trips, safe chew toys and calm supervision. Chewing and accidents are normal at this age, so patience and consistency matter more than anything. DAILY ROUTINE Morning: Take the puppy out first thing, straight after waking. Offer breakfast, then another toilet trip about 10-15 minutes later. Short play and a short training session. Afternoon: Toilet trips after every nap, meal and play session. Since you work from home, use short breaks to practice. Give a chew toy during quiet work time. Let the puppy nap in a safe, comfortable crate or pen. Evening: Dinner, toilet trip, family play with children under adult supervision, a calm chew session, then a final toilet trip before bed. Tip: Young puppies need to go out often. Confirm the right schedule for your puppy with your vet. FEEDING GUIDANCE - Use a consistent feeding schedule with several small meals a day, as your vet recommends for puppies - Choose a complete puppy food suitable for a large-breed puppy, and discuss brand and type with your vet - Keep fresh water available - Use part of the daily food as training rewards - Do not give exact quantities from this plan. Ask your vet for the right amount for your puppy's weight and growth 4-WEEK TRAINING PLAN Week 1: Build the routine - Take the puppy to the same toilet spot after waking, eating, playing and napping - Reward immediately with praise and a small treat when the puppy goes outside - Start name recognition: say the name, reward when the puppy looks at you - 3 short sessions a day, 3-5 minutes each Week 2: Reduce accidents and redirect chewing - Keep supervising and watching for signs like sniffing and circling - When the puppy chews furniture, calmly offer a chew toy and praise when they take it - Use a pen or gate to limit access to chewable areas - Teach "sit" with a treat lure Week 3: Add simple skills - Practice "sit" and "come" in a quiet room - Introduce a crate or bed as a calm, safe space with treats and toys - Start gentle handling of paws and ears, with rewards - Practice leaving the room for short periods so the puppy learns to settle Week 4: Build consistency -
