[quote=Anonymous]I think you should get a trainer. The vet isn't going to teach you everything you need to do for your dog during the first appointment (or really any appointment). The first puppy appointment is mostly a check-in where they assess the overall health of the puppy, check the vaccinations and update as necessary, get you started on heartworm and tick medication, and maybe trim the puppy's nails. You might also look for a dog trainer that is holding socially distanced puppy socialization classes--the person we did our puppy class with last winter have worked out a way to do this (smaller group--outside--humans wear masks and stay mostly apart and the trainer intervenes if the dogs need to be separated). Dogs are expensive, but it's really worth it to pay now when you can have the most impact on your puppy's temperament and reaction to other dogs.[/quote]
