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.

I just had my second singleton out of 23 litters. The previous one was a few years ago. The first thing I did after things calmed down in the whelping box was to sign up for this course. It was money very well spent! Not only has great info about how singletons develop, how to manage mom’s milk production ( which we did have problems with) and so much more on a weekly “how to” basis, but it also will make you feel more confident about the outcome of your little solo puppy. Once again Puppy Culture and Madcap Univ have come through with a great course. If you are blessed with a singleton, and as Jane says, they are very special and rewarding, you owe it to your pup and yourself to take this course. Thank you, PC!

This course was so very informative. DO NOT SKIP THE NUTRITION and FERMENTED FOODS MODULES TOWARD THE END! That was very good information. The only thing on my wish list would have more information and footage of what to do with pups prior to 3-4 weeks.
