Good questions
Before you begin.
How young is too young?
Ask your veterinarian and the trainer. Many prefer an older puppy, but each program differs.
Will my puppy bond with me afterward?
Yes, with your care. A good handoff includes time to practice together.
Is puppy lesson training an alternative?
Often. Lessons at home teach the family directly and may cost less.
What should I pack?
The food your puppy eats, health records and any favorite chew toy. The trainer will advise.
