Good questions
Before you begin.
How old is old enough for a stay?
Trainers set their own minimum ages and health requirements. Ask about vaccinations and age rules before you plan anything.
Can puppy lessons replace a stay?
For most puppies, yes. Early lessons build the basics at home, and a stay can be reconsidered at adolescence if there are gaps.
What if my puppy is anxious?
Go gently. A calm trainer will work at the puppy's pace, and time away from the household may not be the right first step.
Are there places my puppy should avoid?
Until your veterinarian clears it, keep to your own yard and quiet streets. Public spaces and busy parks can wait.
