Puppying 101: Foundation Training for Puppies Under 12 Months (Contact for pricing)

(While Puppying 101 is designed for pups under 12 months, development doesn't follow a perfect timeline. If your dog is a bit older but still needs support with foundational skills, structure, or confidence-building, they may still be a great fit.)

Puppy'ing 101 is my gentle, structure-based approach to raising confident, well-mannered puppies. Through this program, we establish essential habits, support emotional development, and help you prevent behavior challenges before they start.

 

For puppies who may need additional structure, guidance, socialization, or a more supportive transition into group environments, our developmental daycare program offers a more tailored hands-on approach to building these foundational skills. Learn more about developmental daycare.

This program includes:

• Core commands: Sit, Stay, Come

• Optional training: Leave It, Drop It etc.

• Loose Leash Walking Techniques

• Doorway threshold and Impulse Control Techniques

• Exposure to daily routines and calming structure

• Positive crate training

• Practical tools for confidence-building

• Optional support for kids in the household - "Kids & Canines Component" 

 

All training is rooted in dog psychology and relationship-based guidance—not rigid routines. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve studied alongside respected professionals and developed results-driven practices that work in real life, with real families.
