I will be picking up an 8 week old puppy, can you direct me to a video or steps that will help? I want to do everything correctly from the start.

I am a Tester/Observer for therapy dogs. Several months ago I lost my 12 yr old Lab.. But with some time, I found a puppy that I will pick up when 8 weeks old. I have no experience training a puppy. Can you direct me to a video or general steps that would help? Very excited about bringing him home but want to do it correctly from the start.

Cindy's Answer:

I'm sorry about the loss of your Lab, it's so hard to lose our dogs, and they just aren't with us long enough.

I've added a link to our New Puppy bundle of courses; it also includes a lightweight leash and treat pouch. I would start with the courses there and review the material before you bring the puppy home.

Congratulations on the new puppy and thank you for reaching out to us!
