Puppy Training

One-on-One In-Home Positive Training for Puppies 8 Weeks to 5 Months Old

Is Your Puppy More Trouble Than You Anticipated?

You dreamed of cute, soft puppy cuddles, but now you feel like you are in a nightmare of torn flesh, sleepless nights, and constant clean-ups. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. You're not alone. We're here to help you get on the right track and turn this nightmare into a dream come true.

What are your aspirations for your life with your dog? We want you to relish the experience of having a puppy who matures into a dog you can take (and trust) anywhere! Now is the perfect time to lay the groundwork for turning those aspirations into a delightful reality.

That’s what personalized puppy training is all about: the trifecta of basic manners foundations, problem behavior solving and prevention, and socialization for a well-behaved family member everyone loves to have around!

How We Can Help

Potty Training: We'll train your pup to pee in the right places (outside, instead of on your favorite carpet)
Sleeping Through the Night: Let's get your puppy (and you) a full eight hours of sleep again
Puppy Nipping, Biting and Chewing: We'll help your puppy learn where to place their needle sharp teeth (on their toys, instead of your skin and clothes).
Socialization: We'll introduce your puppy to new and novel experiences to build a confident dog
Basic manners: Beyond sit, stay and come, they'll learn how to be quiet and "say please"
Walking on a Leash: No more dragging you down the sidewalk with a dog that waits politely at curbs and doors instead of dashing ahead
Impulse Control: We'll work with your dog on having an off switch, instead of living with a constantly whirling dervish
Crate Training: Making the kennel a safe space so they can be left alone without crying and barking
And More! Including jumping up and recall that works the first time you call (instead of the tenth, if at all).

How Does This Sound?

We'll help you navigate the 'puppy blues' and find peace again. We'll show you how to set your puppy, home, and yourself up for success. The effort you put in now will significantly influence the type of dog your puppy will grow to be. Teaching your puppy to be calm, confident, and responsive to you now will not only save you time, money, and heartache in the future but also give you the reassurance that you're doing the right thing.

Our weekly visits to your home will relieve any overwhelm and equip you to thrive through the exciting yet challenging puppy-raising process. We will coach you through common puppy behavior concerns and teach your puppy foundational obedience cues such as sit, down and stay.

At the end of this private puppy training program, you will have successfully overcome all the most significant challenges that puppy owners face. Your puppy will be well-socialized and understand the most helpful concepts and cues that will set them up to become the well-mannered companion you have been dreaming about!
