Good questions
Before you begin.
How soon after bringing a puppy home can lessons begin?
Many trainers are comfortable once the puppy has settled in and the veterinarian has said outings are safe. Ask your vet about timing for shots.
Is a puppy lesson different from an adult lesson?
Yes. Sessions are shorter, the pace is slower and much of the time goes to the household routine instead of formal commands.
Can I cover puppy basics in a single visit?
A single visit can answer questions and set a routine, but habits form over weeks. A package gives time to practice and adjust.
What if my puppy is shy?
Say so up front. A patient trainer will let the puppy approach new things at its own speed and will not force greetings.
