How to use 30 DAY PERFECT PUP:
- Create your free course access on Pupford using your email.
- Watch the lesson for the skill you are working on.
- Practice the skill for just a few minutes per day with your dog, and repeat as needed.
- Move forward when you and your dog are ready.
You do not have to finish a skill on the day it appears in the plan. Dogs learn at different speeds, and behavior can change with the setting and level of distraction.
