Start a removal habit day one
Puppies go often, and a new dog is the easiest time to lock in a weekly habit before buildup ever starts.
Puppies are most parasite-vulnerable
Young dogs are hit hardest by the roundworm/hookworm eggs that linger in soil and gravel. Frequent removal directly protects your puppy.
Tie pickup to a fixed day
Anchor it to trash day or a route. Consistency beats good intentions once the novelty wears off.
Outsource if your week is full
New puppy plus work plus life is a lot. A $25/week route is the set-and-forget option.
We run weekly Chandler routes for exactly this — new-puppy households that want the yard handled from the start.
