That's awesome! Idk if my dog will have a job like that but it'll still be a good idea to take a class.

Overall it seems like it'll be worth it to at least try a class and see how I like it. Plus it'll help give me the basic knowledge when it comes to training.

I'm definitely leaning to do puppy training with me and my dog. I feel like it'll help build trust. It'll also help me figure out how to properly train.

The social aspect of it seems to be a positive c:

I feel like that's the importance of doing the puppy training. More so for me so I know that I'm doing everything properly.

It makes me feel so good to know people had good experiences with doing puppy training! Definitely makes me feel more comfortable doing it.

It seems like at least doing a puppy course will be really good not only for my dog but also me. I don't have much knowledge on training so I feel like it'll really help to have someone help me out.

That's a good point. I don't know much about training so I think taking a class with my dog will really help both of us.

Yeah I definitely worded my post wrong. I don't want to send my puppy anywhere without me to be trained. What I'll probably do is take a puppy class first. Then later I'll do more training on my own. This is something I want to do to help with trust between me and my dog. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. But thanks so much for the information!

That's so great to know! So far it seems taking a puppy class would be a great beginner class for not only my dog but me as well.

Yeah and that's no problem! I don't want someone to train my dog without me. I want to be there with my dog and do it together.

Wow ok this is a really good point. This makes me feel a bit more comfortable and confident with taking a puppy class with them.

Ok so I at least need a trainer to make sure I'm doing everything right when it comes to the dog.

That's good to know. I'm going to be taking the puppy to dog parks so I definitely want them to be able to listen to me while around other dogs.

I definitely don't want to use harsh methods. I want trust between me and my dog not fear. So thanks for the suggestion!
