Start Your Puppy Off Right with Fun, Effective Training!
Bringing home a puppy is exciting—that first cuddle, those adorable paws, the sweet puppy breath… love at first hug! But before you know it, you’ve got a biting, jumping, zooming bundle of energy on your hands.
Now what?
That’s where we come in. Our puppy training program helps you build a solid foundation of socialization, management, and manners from the start, setting you and your puppy up for a happier, less stressful puppyhood.
Thinking About Getting a Puppy?
We love working with future puppy parents, too! If you’re preparing to bring a new pup into your home, we can help you get ready and know exactly what to expect before they arrive.
Does Your Puppy…
🐾 Bite like a chew toy?
🐾 Jump all over your guests?
🐾 Steal food off counters?
🐾 Chew your shoes?
🐾 Pull non-stop on the leash?
🐾 Get distracted by everything?
🐾 Seem nervous or fearful of new things?
After Training, Your Puppy Will…
✅ Recognize when they bite too hard
✅ Sit nicely and wait to be greeted
✅ Keep four paws on the floor
✅ Leave your belongings alone
✅ Walk politely on leash
✅ Focus on you—even with distractions
✅ Feel more confident and well-socialized
Why Start Training Early?
The best time to start training is as soon as you bring your puppy home. Many owners wait until problems arise, but early training helps prevent bad habits before they start while building good behavior right away.
Between 3 and 16 weeks is the critical socialization period, where exposure to new people, environments, sounds, textures, and handling helps shape a confident, well-adjusted dog. Socialization isn’t just about meeting other dogs—it’s about helping your puppy navigate the world with ease!
Even if your puppy isn’t fully vaccinated yet, we can safely introduce them to new experiences in a way that supports their development. The earlier you start, the easier your puppy training journey will be!
Our Training Philosophy
We use positive, science-based training methods that are reward-based, fun, and effective. Training should be an enjoyable bonding experience, not a stressful one!
🚫 What We Don’t Offer:
❌ Protection training
❌ Work with aggressive dogs or dogs with a bite history (but we’re happy to refer you to a qualified trainer!)
❌ Aversive tools like prong collars, shock collars, spray bottles, or shake cans

Start Your Puppy’s Training the Right Way—From Day One!
The moment you bring your puppy home is the perfect time to start training! Even if your pup hasn’t completed their full round of vaccinations, they still need training to develop into a confident, well-mannered companion.
By the time a puppy reaches four months old, they’ve already passed through one of the most critical periods of their lives—socialization. That’s why early training is essential to shaping a well-adjusted dog.
Private Puppy Lessons: A Strong Start at Home
For puppies with at least one set of vaccines, we begin with private lessons in the comfort of your home. These one-on-one sessions allow us to:
🐾 Teach you how to properly socialize your puppy
🐾 Introduce new sights, sounds, and objects to build confidence
🐾 Establish foundational skills like:
✅ Charging the marker (teaching your pup that rewards come after a correct behavior)
✅ Setting a release word
✅ Developing focus
✅ Learning sit, down, and more
Private Lesson Packages
We offer 8- and 10-session private training packages designed specifically for puppies. Since puppies have so much to learn, we do not offer smaller packages—our goal is to set you and your puppy up for long-term success.
Each session is 45 minutes to ensure your puppy stays engaged without becoming overwhelmed.
From Private Training to Group Classes
Once your puppy has learned the basics, the next step is a group manners class! These classes help your puppy practice their new skills in a fun, controlled environment around other dogs and people.
Our group training packages include 6- and 12-session options, giving your puppy the chance to continue developing into a well-behaved, confident companion.
