Isles of Capri is a compact place with residential lanes that mostly end at the water. That makes it easy to practice slow, loose-leash walks without heavy traffic. The same layout means open canal edges are close to many yards, so a firm recall and a calm stop at curbs are early goals.
Homes here range from small cottages to larger houses with docks. A puppy that lives near a dock needs clear boundaries from day one. Baby gates, pens and a trainer's advice on safe layouts are practical steps. Cars on Collier Boulevard move fast, so keep walks off that road.
Quiet streets mean fewer chances to meet strangers and other dogs. Plan low-pressure outings so the puppy sees new people and sounds. Heat and glare off the water add strain, so keep sessions brief and rest in shade often.
