Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my puppy forget everything at six months?
Adolescence is distracting. Go back to easier settings and rebuild with more rewards.
Is this the same as the puppy package?
No. It is a longer series with higher expectations for focus and distance.
What gear should I bring?
A flat collar or harness, a six-foot leash and small, soft treats.
When should I start?
When your puppy knows the basics at home and your veterinarian approves outings.
