A course for every new puppy owner

You've provided us with what we need to concentrate on during our first few weeks with our new puppy without it feeling overwhelming. I appreciate this and you for your time. I look forward to working with my new puppy. He comes home tomorrow!

Fantastic!

I wish I had taken this course before my other puppies! We feel so much more prepared to welcome our Swissy puppy into our family next month. My mind is blown with the psychology and how dogs are similar to humans in so many ways. We had no idea what we were doing or why we were doing it with our other puppies. I also appreciated the fact that an actual human taught the course. She was easy to follow, understand, and she was a normal parent who could easily demonstrate how we can all welcome our puppies home. Structure was great too! Thank you!
