Good questions
Before you begin.
When should I start looking?
Soon after the puppy settles at home. It is easier to build early habits than to repair them.
Is a package worth it?
It can be if it matches your goals and includes follow-up. Ask what is covered.
What should a lesson look like?
Brief, playful and focused on one or two skills, with homework you can do in minutes.
How do I judge socializing advice?
It should be gradual and protective, with an eye on vaccination status and the puppy's comfort.
