Fabulous course! Loads of good info in here!

I just had my second singleton out of 23 litters. The previous one was a few years ago. The first thing I did after things calmed down in the whelping box was to sign up for this course. It was money very well spent! Not only has great info about how singletons develop, how to manage mom’s milk production ( which we did have problems with) and so much more on a weekly “how to” basis, but it also will make you feel more confident about the outcome of your little solo puppy. Once again Puppy Culture and Madcap Univ have come through with a great course. If you are blessed with a singleton, and as Jane says, they are very special and rewarding, you owe it to your pup and yourself to take this course. Thank you, PC!

Excellent

This course was so very informative. DO NOT SKIP THE NUTRITION and FERMENTED FOODS MODULES TOWARD THE END! That was very good information. The only thing on my wish list would have more information and footage of what to do with pups prior to 3-4 weeks.

The best resource for raising a singleton!

This course helped me raise a healthy, well-adjusted singleton puppy. I followed the advice of this course carefully from the day my singleton puppy was born. My puppy is now 12 weeks old and is doing great. I am glad I took this course. It was worth every penny. I feel good knowing my puppy got the best start in life possible.

Great Information

I truly enjoyed this course. My situation is a bit different. We were not expecting a singleton. My singleton spent her first 7 days as one of 9. While some of the content did not apply to our situation (C-Section, milk issues) much of the program addresses issues I have faced (constipation for example) and will face (socialization considerations) and all content is extremely informative.
I enjoyed the presentation as exchanges between and with Jane and Magda. The wealth of knowledge here is invaluable. I especially enjoyed the segments in fermentation and gut colonization. While I have been hesitant to wean to raw in the past, I feel with a singleton, the opportunity is presenting itself and I am looking forward to seeing how we do!

Great info. A bit too expensive.

I enjoyed this series of videos very much. I felt it helped me with a bit of new information. Some information that was worth considering even though I might not agree 100%. Love the links to studies.
I do think it's a bit cost-prohibitive. Especially given the fact that most folks with singletons are facing greater financial challenges than a breeder who hopes they can pay off the credit card when they sell puppies. Most often the singleton will be a c-section and that on top of all the other prenatal care, stud fees, shipping of semen, etc. the breeder is looking at being in the hole $1000s.
I don't think one needs to give it away but it's more expensive than the basic PC.

What is really valuable in these is the emphasis on relaxing one's expectations. A lot of people look at the PC film and workbook as pure dogma and not a creative tool.
I love how this helped me to further evolve my mindset. Thank you so much!
That's my 2 cents.
