* When socialization should happen and how to make sure it does.
* When your puppy is ready to learn basic commands-like Sit, Stay, and Come-and the best way to teach them.
* When and how to go about leash training.
* How much exercise your puppy needs to stay physically and mentally healthy.
* What, how much, and when to feed your puppy to give him the nutrition he needs without the extra weight he doesn't.
* When your puppy is ready for obedience training and how to make sure it works.
* How and how often to bath your puppy, brush his coat, clip his nails, and brush his teeth.
* How to know what requires a trip to the vet and what doesn't.
