Good questions
Before you begin.
When do puppies start lessons?
Usually once they are settled at home and your veterinarian clears outings. Ask a trainer about their vaccine requirements.
Should I wait to consider a stay?
Often, yes. Many trainers take older puppies and adult dogs. Ask for their age policy.
Are trails safe for puppies?
Ask your veterinarian first. Young dogs tire quickly, and rough or steep ground can be a lot.
How much should a package include?
A set number of lessons, some between-visit support and clear homework. Get the details in writing.
