you to understand and address puppy needs to prevent problems in adult
dogs. We will discuss the pros and cons of puppy play, how to structure
object play to get the best results for individual pups, scheduling of
the puppy's day and week and spay and neuter. We will even have live
puppies on site for you to interact with during our socialization lab.
