Good questions
Before you begin.
Should a trainer ask about my vet?
Yes. A careful trainer wants your puppy's health and vaccine status before planning outings.
What if a trainer wants to correct a puppy harshly?
Move on. Young dogs learn best from patient teaching.
How much will I practice?
Short bursts several times a day. A trainer who assigns hours of drills is not tuned to puppies.
Is a longer package better?
Not automatically. Match the length to your goals and review progress partway through.
