I am just returning to the game after a long break. I seem to remember that after a certain level you can stop sessions on grooming and the pups will continue to improve on their own. Is this still the case?

Yes it is still the case. The point is somewhere between 15 and 18 I think. Good food is a factor in this too.

As long as you are feeding them a decent custom food then you can certainly do this - it just takes a lot longer compared to if you were sessioning them daily in those areas.

Everyone is different - but I tend to have them on a 1666 formula as well as sessioning them daily - until they reach 20 in coat and muscle - then move them on to Pet House for Adults. I then only session obedience until they hit 30 days of age.

Mine are always done so fast with grooming (sometimes before they hit the 14 day mark) that I just session to the end because it's faster. But I believe it's around the 16 mark you can do that?

It depends on the breed. For breeds that take 30 days to reach 20 for training, I take them off of sessioning when they are 14-16 for grooming (and exercise) and just leave them on a 1777 ration. For dogs that reach 20 in obedience under 20 days I usually wait until they are 16-18 (when I remember! laugh :D ) and then let the food do the rest.
