In these one-on-one sessions, you’ll work directly with a professional trainer to build clear communication, trust, and foundational obedience skills. Lessons are customized to your dog’s individual needs, focusing on key behaviors such as handler engagement, recall, heel, sit-stay, down-stay, and climb.

PUPPY CLASSES
Our Puppy 101 Program is thoughtfully designed to equip both you and your puppy with the essential skills and knowledge for long-term success. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to establish a solid foundation, this program sets your puppy on the right path.
For puppies beginning their training journey, our focus is on early development—building confidence, trust, and calm behavior. Since puppies are highly impressionable in their early months, we recommend starting before 18 weeks of age for optimal results.
During Puppy 101, we’ll focus on:
• Puppy imprinting and handling skills
• Engagement and recall basics
• Foundational obedience
• Leash manners
• Socialization
Our training goes beyond the puppy—we work with you, the owner, to ensure you’re prepared to raise a well-adjusted companion. You’ll receive expert guidance on common puppy challenges such as potty training, chewing, jumping, nipping, and more. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to guide your puppy through each stage of development.
Puppy 101 is available as either group classes or private lessons.
