Good questions
Before you begin.
Can a young puppy do a stay?
Some trainers accept puppies, others set a minimum age. Ask why they choose that age and how a puppy's rest and meals are handled.
When should puppy lessons begin?
Usually once the puppy is settled at home and cleared by a veterinarian for outings.
How much practice does a puppy need?
Short sessions several times a day. Puppies learn best in brief, happy bursts.
What is a good first goal?
A calm routine at home: sleeping, potty trips and quiet time. Skills grow from that base.
