Good questions
Before you begin.
How old must a puppy be for a stay?
Trainers set their own rules for age and vaccinations. Ask the trainer, and ask your veterinarian.
Can lessons replace a stay?
In most cases, yes. If gaps remain at adolescence, look at a stay then.
What if my puppy is nervous?
Go slowly. A patient trainer follows the puppy's lead.
Where can a young puppy go?
Ask your veterinarian. Until cleared, stay with your own yard and quiet spots.
