Puppy Training

Set your puppy (and your family) up for success from the start by utilizing our puppy training services. Many of the resources regarding dog training today are counter to current science and riddled with misinformation in reference to dominance theory and “pack leadership”. Through an ethical start with a focus on socialization and positive reinforcement, we work with you to create lasting, desirable behavior in your puppy lasts a lifetime and is not based on fear or force.

Puppy training takes place both in your home and in public. Socialization is a big part of our training, as the experiences a puppy has before 16 weeks of age has lifelong effects. The areas we focus on for training are:

• Crate Training or Confinement Training

• Not jumping on guests

• How to walk politely on a leash

• Recall or come when called

• Problem-prevention of chewing & biting

• “Leave it”, and more!

The first session is a consultation where we meet and discuss your goals, lifestyle, and get to know your puppy. The cost for consultation is $150. During the consultation you will get lots of practical advice on living with and raising your puppy and afterwards, a training and socialization plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
