Good questions
Before you begin.
Do puppies need to be fully vaccinated first?
Check with your veterinarian. Advice on public outings varies with the puppy's age and local conditions.
How do I handle car rides?
Go slow. Short trips ending somewhere pleasant help puppies relax in the car.
What if I rent or share a yard?
A trainer can adjust the plan for an apartment, a condo or a small shared space.
Is one lesson enough?
One can answer your pressing questions. A short series gives time to see the plan work.
