In part two of our fifth and final class, we finalize the discussions had in the mentorship so far by answering questions about customer service, curriculum, branding, puppy evaluation, medication, and more. One of the points that we stress several times today is that this program is not about training puppies, but rather about empowering them to handle any situation they may encounter when they leave our facility. We speak about how best to showcase the development of your puppies and keep clients up to date with videos and pictures uploaded to platforms like YouTube and Flickr. This class covers the best ways to respond to many difficult behaviors such as bullying, avoidance, hyperactivity, and fear. We double down on previous points about exposing puppies to different people while also addressing some considerations around hygiene and medication for worms and other illnesses. Toward the end of the class, we talk about the centrality of good customer relations from a branding perspective and also speak to the many features you can expect from our app when it gets released. So, thank you all for joining us and we wish you all the best in your journey as Empowered Badass Breeders going forward!
