Puppy Start Program
Congratulations! You’ve welcomed a puppy to your home...Puppies are so cute but they are A LOT of work! Let me help you get your puppy started on the right “Paw”!
We’re so happy you’re reaching out for training now, while your puppy is a little learning sponge. We want to take advantage of this very important development time so let’s work together to use positive puppy parenting to establish healthy habits now as we lay the foundation to help prevent future behavioral problems.
By helping you understand how puppies think and learn, we’ll help you manage common puppy behaviors like nipping, chewing, house training issues, jumping up by looking at why they’re doing it and how we can replace these unwanted behaviors with more desirable ones.
You and your puppy will learn:
Routine building for crate training, feeding, healthy sleep and more
Puppy proofing your home and yard and why boundaries are so important
Early socialization - What is it and what should you be doing now?
Focus and engagement
Rewarding calm behaviors
Being polite with guests
Foundation cues such as Sit, Down, Wait, Leave it/Drop it
Reliable Come
Loose leash walking
Guidance in purchasing the right supplies, toys, puzzles etc.
Lots of moral support!
