Good questions

Before you begin.

Is board and train good for a young puppy?

Usually not for the youngest puppies. Home-based lessons tend to fit them better.

Will my puppy bond with me afterward?

The handoff matters. Ask how the trainer helps you build the relationship, not only the cues.

Should I choose a stay over lessons?

Only if your schedule or goals call for it. Lessons teach you directly.

Are vaccines required?

Almost always. Ask what records are needed.
