CONGRATS!!! I adopted a 1 year old last year on Aug 1st, he'll be 2 tomorrow.
I'm a big time do it your self mommy. I took Kaji to Petsmart once for a nail trim, and I did not like how they treated him. Granted, that every employee at any place has their own attitude, but Kaji was just so frightened. I cut his hair myself, trim his nails and brush his teeth too, taught him tricks myself, and am doing all obedience training myself. It's not that hard as long as you are determined and disciplined to do it. I'm guessing from your age, you still have a month to work with him before going back to school. That's plenty of time to set up a good routine! A schedule is super important for these little ones. It helps them adjust better.
As far as weight goes, as long as his body structure can handle the weight (as in he's not pudgy) there's nothing wrong with the weight. Make sure to get Logan in for a vet check ASAP for a wellness check. The vet can tell you if 6lbs is an appropriate weight for his size.
How exciting! Post pics as soon as you can.
