Did you know that puppy training should begin as young as possible?
Like right now? It's true!
Starting your official puppy training is recommended when your puppy reaches 8 weeks of age or sooner.
What Age Should We Begin Puppy Training
Because your puppy is already learning and growing. They will learn something from you every single day. It's best to teach them the right behaviors before they have a chance to learn the wrong ones. While we begin training at 8 weeks old, it's important to remember that your puppy is just a puppy and he'll need some time and positive reinforcement as he's learning. Make sure you and your family understand that training is a process and to have patience while your puppy learns all the things!
In-Home Puppy Training Program
Our Puppy Training Program is designed to begin between 8-12 weeks of age and be completed when your puppy is about 16-18 weeks of age. If If your puppy is over 14 weeks at this time, please ask me about customizing our Obedience Dog Training Program
This is no typical puppy preschool. Our Puppy Training Program is designed to cover everything you need to know about having a new puppy in your home, socializing with other people and dogs, setting up easy vet & grooming visits, having company over, and so much more.
Is your puppy is older than 12 weeks, but under 20 weeks we may need to consider a customized hybrid program.
Our puppy preschool program includes training for your puppy (and for you) in two primary areas: Basic Training and Health & Safety. We’re going to tell you how to get off to the best possible start.

It's important that you participate actively in your puppy's training. Our puppy training program is designed to help you be more proactive (and less frustrated) in handling common puppy behaviors and helping your puppy learn. You'll need to set aside time each day for working with your puppy, teaching, bonding and showing him what behaviors you want. We teach you all of the skills you need to reinforce positive and desired behaviors in your puppy. Don't worry! We'll be there every step of the way to help and guide you. Yes, training is a commitment but it pays off with a happy and fulfilled life for your dog and for you.
