They don’t have bladder control in the same way a child does not have bladder control
I certainly would not restrict either from drinking .
Also, any 'classes' or book reading will only offer basics.
Some people are just 'naturals' around animals, others don't know their head from their a**e.
I would not let a tiny puppy go to someone who hadn't got a clue in the first place!
Having said that, some breeders haven't a clue where their pups have gone if they sell through a third party instead of bothering to meet the prospective owners and talking to them first.
I didn't have tuition to look after my human baby either, you have to do your best, use common sense, and learn as you go along to an extent.
But taking on a huge, powerful breed of unpredictable temperament is not something I would do.
