You should not work the jumps with a puppy under 1 1/2 years old. If your puppy is under a year old they shouldn't be in lessons. Playing around with the tunnel, chute, and weave poles should be okay. Don't expect to much of your puppy. Puppies have short attention spans and their plates have not fused yet so they can not withstand jumping high and the landing impaction. You should get your puppy X-rayed when they are 1 1/2 years old to make sure that their plates have fused before starting agility lessons. If you over work your puppy and make them jump around to much you will hurt them, permanently. What you can do is, like I said before, just play around with the tunnel, chute, and weave poles. Treat it like a fun game, not a serious sport that you must get right. You can start the serious stuff when your puppy has matured.

NO. you should not bthe a puppy his first day home

Small jogs around the backyard with its owner will increase its agility and loyalty. Throwing a ball or toy or even just playing chase will boost any young puppy.
puppy chow
It should be a puppy food that has meat listed first, don`t give any puppy food that has meat by-products wheat soy or corn in it,these are just fillers and the puppy will want to eat more.
Yes you should because if you shouldn't your puppy will get infected but clean the puppy gently.

All puppies should receive puppy food, and be fed three times daily, for AT LEAST the first year of life. Check with your Vet for his/her recommendation of puppy food for small breeds. I fed my westie, Mop, puppy food till she was one and a half. :D
If you find an orphaned puppy, it is important to first ensure its safety and well-being. Keep the puppy warm, hydrated, and fed with appropriate puppy formula. Contact a local animal shelter, rescue organization, or veterinarian for guidance on how to properly care for the puppy and find it a suitable home.
