Good questions

Before you begin.

Can a puppy do a board and train?

Some trainers take young dogs, but many suggest waiting. Ask a trainer for their view and for a vet's clearance.

When should lessons start?

Often once the puppy has settled in and a vet says outings are fine.

Are puppy packages good value?

They can be, if the plan matches your needs and includes follow-up between visits.

Should I wait for adolescence before a stay?

Some owners do. Ask a trainer what age they accept and why.
