'My puppy is biting me, how often do I feed my puppy, when can I start training, how much sleep should my puppy have, how do I crate train' these are just some of the most commonly asked question. Truthfully, there is no right or wrong way to bring up a puppy every home, family and puppy is unique and therefor training needs to match this.

Puppy One to Ones: 

Sometimes it may be more appropriate to start with a one to one before placing a puppy in a group class. If the puppy is under 4 months old then it may be that the one to one runs only for half an hour instead of the full one hour session as not all puppies can concentrate for that long.
