    Puppy Training

    Set your puppy up for a lifetime of success with foundational training during their critical socialization window.

    🐶Puppy Fundamentals

    Building a Strong Foundation

    The first few months of your puppy's life are crucial for development. During this "socialization window," puppies are most receptive to learning new things and forming positive associations. Our puppy program takes full advantage of this critical period!

    We'll cover all the basics your puppy needs to grow into a well-mannered adult dog, plus give you the tools and knowledge to continue their education at home.

    What We Cover:

    • Potty training
    • Crate training
    • Leash walking
    • Bite inhibition
    • Socialization guidance
    • Jumping prevention
    • Impulse control
