Puppy-to-Teen: Full First-Year Program

The comprehensive raise-a-great-dog path from foundations through core obedience and home manners. For owners who want one structured plan to follow across the whole first year. DUAL-inclusive: each e-collar-capable skill teaches the positive-reinforcement method first; the e-collar track is optional and clearly labeled in-lesson.
