wish I knew sooner - amazing program

I was looking everywhere for a good guide for my puppy that I brought home at 10 weeks. I was on google, watching YouTube videos, instagram, etc. There was so much information everywhere, but I was recommended Puppy Culture and With Open Arms. I wish I knew about this before I even got my puppy so that I could have gone through the materials, then gone through them again once I got her. That being said, I am so grateful for every piece of information. This made my life so much easier, and my puppy seems to be thriving.

Great information

I truly appreciated this video. I ordered this video after watching puppy culture. I will be getting my new puppy in a few weeks and I wanted to make sure that I would be able to continue with the puppy culture training that my breeder has started. I will be showing the dog, therefore, I want to be ale to give the puppy good solid training early on.
I appreciated the explanations of the importance of each step. It makes the tasks ahead not quite as overwhelming. I will be reviewing the video many times as I move forward with my training. Thank you.

What Every Puppy Guardian Needs!!

As a professional trainer and behavior consultant with almost 25 years of experience, I absolutely LOVED this course! Jane has done an amazing job of helping people to focus on the critical developmental milestones in terms of training! With the internet essentially providing a fire hose of information, much of it bad advice, this course provides guardians of new puppies with a focused roadmap that is not overwhelming, allowing both the puppy and the guardian to find success and reinforcement in the training process. Jane explains the science of why she does what she does and when she does it in a way that allows students to see how beneficial and critical these early days and training sessions are. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone I know bringing a puppy home, along with my ongoing recommendations for Puppy Culture and Attention is The Mother of All Behaviors! Thank you Jane!!
