and praising her each day. You will have a
minimum amount of responsibilities for each
stage. For example, in your puppy's New
born stage, you must feed her 3 times, walk
her 2 times and praise her 3 times. (You can-
not feed or walk your puppy morethan once
per hour, but you can praise her as much as
you'd like!)

have completed your responsibilities for that
day, your puppy will advance to the next
stage. If you do not meet your responsibilities
by midnight, your puppy will let you know that
he's unhappy. (see section “Grad.” on below
