First 90 Days Adaptation Guide

If you're navigating the first months after vision loss, you're not alone

The initial shock has worn off, but you're still lost—you don't know what the first week, first month, or first three months should actually look like.
You're not sure if your dog's progress is "normal" or if they're adapting too slowly, and you're doubting whether you're doing enough to help.
You're managing setbacks and "bad days" where your dog seems to regress, and you don't know if that's expected or a sign something is wrong.
Family members, friends, or other people in your household are reacting differently or handling your dog inconsistently, and you can't get everyone on the same page.
You're piecing together advice from forums, blog posts, and the vet, but nothing tells you what to prioritise in week one versus week eight.
You feel guilty when your dog bumps into something or hesitates, and you're not sure if you're being patient enough or if you should be doing more.

What's inside: First 90 Days Adaptation Guide

This guide takes you week by week through the critical first three months, showing you what to expect, what to focus on, and how to build routines and confidence together—so you're not guessing or spiraling every time something changes.

Week-by-week expectations and milestones

Understand what the first week looks like versus week four versus week twelve, including realistic timelines for adaptation so you know if you're on track or if adjustments are needed.

Building routines that create safety and confidence

Learn how to establish predictable patterns for feeding, toileting, walking, and play that help your dog navigate their world with less confusion and more trust.

Tracking progress without obsessing over every setback

Get frameworks for monitoring small wins and changes over time, so you can see real adaptation happening even when individual days feel hard.

Managing bad days, regressions, and unexpected challenges

Understand why setbacks happen, what's normal versus concerning, and how to respond calmly instead of panicking when progress feels like it's stalling.

Getting family and household members aligned

Learn how to communicate what your dog needs, create consistency across caregivers, and manage different comfort levels or approaches within your household.

When to push forward and when to pull back

Know how to balance encouraging exploration and independence with respecting your dog's pace, so you're supportive without being overprotective or pushing too hard.

After working through this guide, you'll be able to:

Know what to expect and focus on in the first week, first month, and first three months, so you're not guessing or feeling lost about what comes next.
Build routines and structures that help your dog navigate their world with confidence instead of constant confusion or hesitation.
Track your dog's progress realistically over weeks and months, recognising small wins even when individual days feel discouraging.
Handle setbacks and regressions calmly, understanding what's a normal part of adaptation versus a sign you need to adjust your approach.
Get everyone in your household—partners, kids, other caregivers—aligned on how to support your dog consistently instead of working at cross purposes.
Feel confident knowing when to encourage your dog to try new things and when to respect their pace, without guilt or second-guessing.
Create a "new normal" that feels sustainable and positive instead of like you're constantly in crisis mode or waiting for things to go back to how they were.

This guide is for you if:

You're somewhere in the first weeks or months after your dog lost vision and you're trying to figure out what to do next beyond the immediate crisis.
You want a structured roadmap instead of guessing what you should be working on in week two versus week ten.
You're seeing progress some days and setbacks others, and you're not sure if that's normal or if you're doing something wrong.
You have family members or household caregivers who aren't on the same page about how to handle your dog, and it's creating stress or inconsistency.
You're overwhelmed by all the advice online but no one is telling you what to prioritise and when, or what realistic adaptation actually looks like over three months.

Why First 90 Days Adaptation Guide goes deeper than free advice

Generic timelines that say "most dogs adapt in a few weeks" without explaining what that actually means or looks like day to day

A realistic, week-by-week breakdown of what to expect and focus on from day one through month three

Vague advice to "be patient" and "stay positive" without any structure for what you're actually building toward

Concrete frameworks for creating routines, tracking progress, and making decisions that move adaptation forward

Forum posts from people whose dogs are at totally different stages, leaving you confused about whether your experience is normal

A clear roadmap tailored to the first 90 days specifically, so you know what's expected in this phase versus later on

No guidance on managing household dynamics, family stress, or getting caregivers aligned—just dog training tips

Practical strategies for managing the human side of adaptation, including communication, consistency, and family alignment

Inside, you'll find clear answers to questions like:

"What should the first week actually look like? What am I supposed to be doing besides keeping them safe?"
"Is my dog adapting too slowly, or is this just part of the normal process?"
"What milestones should I expect at 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days?"
"How do I handle it when we seem to go backwards after a good week? Is that normal, or did I do something wrong?"
"How do I explain to friends and family what my dog now needs, especially when they want to 'help' in ways that aren't actually helpful?"
"How much should I push my dog to try new things versus letting them go at their own pace?"
"When does this stop feeling like constant crisis management and start feeling like a sustainable new routine?"
"What if I'm three months in and things still don't feel settled—what does that mean?"

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a replacement for my vet?

No. This guide focuses on the practical and emotional side of the first 90 days—routines, adaptation milestones, household management—not medical decisions. It sits alongside your vet care, helping you understand what's happening and what to do day to day between appointments.

What if my dog's situation is more complicated than what's described?

Every dog adapts at their own pace, and many have complicating factors (age, other health issues, temperament). This guide doesn't prescribe a rigid timeline; instead, it gives you frameworks to understand where your dog is, what's normal variation, and how to adjust your approach for your specific situation.

Can I share this with my family or partner?

Yes. Share it with anyone in your household or close support circle. Getting everyone aligned on what the first 90 days look like is one of the guide's goals. This isn't for resale or public distribution, but sharing within your care team is encouraged.

How will I receive the guide?

You'll get instant access to download the PDF right after purchase. Read it on any device (phone, tablet, computer) and print it if you prefer paper. It's yours to reference throughout the first 90 days and beyond.

What if it doesn't help?

If this guide doesn't give you more clarity and confidence navigating the first three months, I'll refund your purchase within 30 days—no questions asked.

Get calm, clear guidance for the first 90 days

The first three months after vision loss are critical, but no one tells you what to expect week by week or how to know if you're on track. You don't have to navigate this without a roadmap, guessing if you're doing enough or worrying every time something changes.
