HELPING YOU TRAIN WITH CLARITY INSTEAD OF CONFUSION
Getting a puppy is exciting, but knowing exactly what to do when your puppy misbehaves or how to raise it right can be confusing. You are probably like most people who want their puppy to grow into an adult dog that listens, comes when called, walks nicely on a leash, and is polite with guests.
Knowing how to get there on your own is the hard part. That’s where we come in.
Our programs are designed so that you can choose the one you want based on your preferences. The main differences lie in the number of in-person private lessons and the amount of support you receive during and after the program.
More time training together means more direct guidance to tackle those tough moments, leading to faster and more noticeable results. The additional support is designed to fast-track your journey while also ensuring your training doesn’t slip over time.
All programs include in-home lessons, so your puppy learns to behave in the environment where they spend the most time, ensuring your improvements are directly applied to your home.

Puppy Training FAQ
Your questions about house training, nipping, and socialization answered.
What is included in your Puppy Programs?
Our Puppy Programs focus on essential early development, including socialization, basic obedience commands (sit, stay, come) to advanced obedience (loose-leash walking, coming when called, polite greetings), house-training, crate training, and addressing common puppy behaviors like nipping and chewing. The goal is to set your puppy up for a lifetime of good behavior.
When should I start training my puppy?
The best time to start training your puppy is as soon as you bring them home, typically around 8 weeks of age. Early socialization and basic obedience training are crucial for developing a well-adjusted and confident adult dog.
How can I stop my puppy from nipping and biting?
How can I stop my puppy from nipping and biting? A: Puppy nipping is normal, but it needs to be managed. Provide appropriate chew toys, redirect biting to toys, give time-outs, and disengage from play if nipping continues. Our puppy programs offer specific strategies to teach bite inhibition.
What should I do if my dog is having potty accidents indoors?
What should I do if my dog is having potty accidents indoors? A: First, rule out any medical issues with a vet visit. Then, establish a consistent potty schedule, reward successful outdoor eliminations, and supervise your dog closely indoors. Our puppy programs and in-home lessons can provide detailed guidance and support for effective potty training.
How do I socialize my puppy properly?
Puppy socialization involves safely exposing your puppy to a wide variety of sights, sounds, people, and other dogs during their critical developmental period (up to 16 weeks). This helps them grow into confident, well-adjusted adults. Our puppy programs provide structured socialization opportunities and guidance.
