Hi Carmine, Puppy kindergarten is meant to "introduce" the young pups to the idea of training. It's not so strict compared to Basic, Pre-novice and so on. Merely to socialise and expose your puppy to people & other dogs. But you still learn enough for Snowy sit for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, and with some luck, pass it too ! I don't think it's a good idea to join pre-novice without any prior basic training...unless of course you have trained Snowy quite well at home already. Anyway, it's up to you. But personally, I think there's no rush. Take it step by step. Let Snowy enjoy the basic stuff first before subjecting her to the rigorous advance training. Also, you must consider whether you have enough time to practice. If not, then it's better to start with the easy stuff first because it's no use going for pre-novice classes once a week and expect your puppy to do wonders. I'm not too sure about the vomitting part. Maybe other members can help you out. Actually Bodhi vomits occasionally as well. But that's because she eats all sorts of things in the garden and that upsets her stomach. For example, she vomitted pieces of what appears to be leaves. But after that, she was ok and ate her dinner as usual.
