When I learned there was only one puppy, I knew to go to Puppy Culture to get "The Joy of Singletons". Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with us and helping us enjoy our singleton! He was delivered via schedule C-section because the mother was a maiden girl . Luckily, I made that decision because the puppy was born with an abdominal hernia. All of his intestines were outside his body, my vet was able to push them all back in. He is now 11 days old and gaining weight, moving around the whelping box and is very beautiful!! Thank you for teaching us how to be better caregivers to our puppies.

I enjoyed this, and found some useful pieces of information. However, I would like to see a lower price point OR more detailed and in-depth information. For example, how to handle c-sections and other medical problems, since I think singleton litters are more likely to have issues. This course does cover these things, just not in great depth.
Would recommend, but I think it may benefit from a lower price point.

Honestly, I didn't find this class nearly as helpful as I had hoped.

While there was lots of good content, the structure was a little odd. For example, the module on milk production in episode 4 was good, but IMO it really belonged in Episode 1, where it would help you get momma on track from the very beginning. The bonus videos on stand for exam, etc, as well as the modules on the gut biome, although interesting & valuable, really had little bearing specifically to singletons.

I don’t feel that the program was very helpful in managing a difficult singleton issues, especially during those first 2-3 weeks. I started with two very weak, sick puppies and a momma whose milk never really came in. I lost one of them after a week, so for me, this was a sudden deep dive into trying to manage a frail singleton.

The information on too fat puppies was certainly valid, but my puppy was starving to death and there was very little content on managing a puppy that wasn’t getting sufficient nutrition. There was an underlying assumption that momma’s milk would come in, but information and guidance on what to do if it doesn’t would have been super helpful - Info on when to supplement, modes of supplementation, where to find guidelines on how much to feed, how to get a puppy to take a bottle, etc, would have been helpful, as well as ideas on how to keep a puppy warm enough, but not too hot. Ideas about how to manage self care/sleep while trying to feed a puppy every two hours. For later on, Ideas on how to handle lonely crying pups in their pen around 4-5 weeks when momma starts sleeping away from them would have been helpful.

The information on socialization was interesting and I think it will be helpful, but the modules were a bit repetitive.

Its been quite a few years since I had a singleton ( before my Puppy Culture awareness) so when this little girl came along I noticed and decided to do this course its been great THANK YOU, she will be a keeper but all the extra info in rasing her to her fll potential has been great

Not only is this course filled with knowledge and experience but it goes a long way towards building confidence and dispelling fears over raising a singleton. I now feel armed with information to give my singleton the best possible start in life.
