Got some great ideas to work with my dog. Things to think about in terms of biting & jumping.  This couple of weeks has given me more confidence as a first time puppy owner.  Thanks Jennifer!

This course was so helpful & helped us navigate early puppy training. Having attended a previous 8wk course, we feel the 8 wk course allowed more time to cover more. (We know – sorry guys, but City of Kingston ended the opportunity for us to deliver training to local residents)
