Good questions
Before you begin.
Can a puppy join a stay?
That is a decision for you, your veterinarian and the trainer. Many start with lessons.
How often should a puppy practice?
Several tiny sessions a day work better than one long session.
When do I start leash walking?
Once your veterinarian says outings are safe.
Do puppies need a crate?
Many owners find one useful for rest and house training.
