Professional puppy training is really good, especially if you have a nervous dog, as a lot of conventional dog advice doesn't always work perfectly for a nervous dog.
On a similar note, learn and respect your dog's limits. Dogs, like people, come in a huge range of personalities and so there are some things that your dog just will never be comfortable doing, ranging from tolerating children to doing agility and so on.
Oh and avoid elite dog training social media. It seems tempting because they show off all their impressive dogs, but it's full of extremely opinionated, unreasonable, judgemental people that believe their way is the only way, a select few going as far as telling people to basically put down their dogs if their method doesn't work... It's a toxic community, don't subject yourself (or your pup) to that stuff.
