Important to Know:
-
Two weeks provides a strong foundation, but puppies are still developing — continued training at home is essential
-
Potty training requires owner consistency after the program to maintain progress
-
Puppy behavior will continue to evolve through adolescence; this is not a “one and done” solution
-
Early training creates good habits, but adolescence (6-18 months) may require additional support
