Training your puppy is also very important: If you are a new puppy owner or would like a refresher course, I have teamed up with Baxter and Bella. Amy Jensen is the trainer behind Baxter and Bella -- she's a former teacher who has used her lesson planning and instructional skills to develop an amazing program that teaches you how to communicate with, socialize, and train your puppy.
