LGD Puppy Bonding Training Planner | Vet-Sourced Fillable PDF (Digital Download)

Livestock guardian dog puppy planner — a 34-page fillable PDF that turns the critical 8-to-16-week bonding window into a dated, do-it plan for your LGD pup, from the bonding pen to a working guardian.

I built this for the moment you bring home a livestock guardian puppy and realize the window to bond it to your stock is short and unforgiving. It is not another cute puppy log — every page maps to the tested bonding-and-training method (Texas A&M AgriLife), so you spend the first year deliberately instead of hoping it works out.

WHAT'S INSIDE — 25 fillable tools across the whole two-year arc:
• Puppy & source record and a bonding-pen setup checklist (the 60×60 hot-wire pen, calm female stock, feed and water placed outside the safe space)
• A dated weeks-8-to-16 bonding log and a pen-progression tracker for the make-or-break window
• A human-contact ration tracker built on the ~5-minutes, 2–3 times a week rule that keeps a guardian bonded to stock instead of over-bonded to people
• A submissive-behavior watch and a socialization & exposure log
• Command, leash, tether, and vehicle logs for the few cues an LGD actually needs, plus a reusable weekly training schedule
• A chasing & rough-play incident log for the 8-to-18-month teenage months, a new-stock introduction tracker, and an observation log
• Development-milestone and guardian-performance trackers (trustworthy, attentive, protective)
• Full health records: vaccination & deworming, weight & body-condition, feeding, vet, and a daily health-scan log

HOW IT WORKS
Type straight onto the pages on any phone, tablet, or computer in a free PDF app like Adobe Acrobat Reader — or print it and write by hand at the barn. Save a blank copy first, then fill it, so you can reuse it for the next pup or a second season.

Works for any livestock guardian breed — Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, Maremma, Kangal, Akbash, and more.

SOURCED, NOT GUESSED
Every load-bearing number is drawn from primary authorities — Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, AVSAB, AAHA/CAPC, and Cornell/OFA. It teaches and defers to your own veterinarian; no medications, no doses, no diagnosis.
