Dog Training for Puppies

All evaluations are done with an appointment. This gets set up after the person fills out our interest form and the trainer has reached out to set up a specific time and date to meet. Most cases we like to come to the house to see the dog in their natural environment but some cases we can meet at our facility also. This is a no strings attached appointment but we can discuss all of your options during this time. The trainer will allow you to ask any questions and speak about what goals you have for the dog with training. 

Dog training for puppies will focus on key elements that will help the puppy become confident and establish a deep bond between dog and owner. The trainer will help the owner with teaching them basic commands such as sit, down, stay, place, and leash work. Each area will look different depending on the dog and the owner. 

One key element for puppies is getting them neutralized to their environment. The trainer and the owner will go out to public places and help expose the puppy to different sight, sounds, textures, people, and movements to help them gain confidence. This is different than socialization. 

Puppy training will also include socialization to other people and dogs mostly. They will learn how to approach new people with confidence as well as learning how to properly greet a new dog. The owner will learn how to introduce the puppy to new people and dogs. Note: your dog does NOT have to be friends will all people and other dogs.

We do offer puppy board and trains ! The age group for this is at least the first round of shots up to one years. We would get your puppy on a feeding schedule to help with potty training and help with that. We will also do puppy exposure where we can go out to different places and help them build confidence with new places, people, sounds, and more. We will also work on basic obedience commands: sit, down, stay, come, place, and leash work. This is great for people that just got a puppy and are wanting to start them off strong.
