So you got a puppy…
Puppies are adorable. They're also experts at stealing socks, chewing things they maybe shouldn't, and making you question whether they need to go potty every 15 minutes.
Let’s navigate puppyhood with practical skills, realistic expectations, and training that fits everyday life.
What we work on.
-
Learn how to build good habits from the start and set your puppy up for success.
-
Creating a safe, comfortable space your puppy can relax in and enjoy. You will not want to skip this one. I promise.
-
Puppy-proofing, preventing unwanted habits, and helping your puppy make good choices.
-
Creating a foundation of trust, communication, and teamwork through games, toy play, and positive experiences.
-
Beyond endless games of fetch—learn the foundations of how to use play to build confidence, connection, and valuable life skills.
-
Helping your puppy learn that collars, harnesses, and leashes predict good things—not stress, frustration, or being chased around the house.
-
What realistic walks look like for puppies, how far they should be walking, and how to recognize when your puppy is thriving, struggling, or simply needs a break. Through games and practical leash skills, we'll help prevent pulling, overstimulation, and frustration while building confidence and connection.
-
Preparing your puppy for vet visits, nail trims, bathing, grooming, and everyday handling with less stress for everyone involved
-
From stolen socks to mystery treasures found in the backyard, we'll help you navigate everyday puppy situations while building trust and preventing conflict.
-
Helping your puppy learn that the world is safe without feeling the need to say hello to every dog, person, bicycle, squirrel, or leaf blowing across the sidewalk.
What matters most.
The goal isn’t a puppy that can perform a long list of cues (we’ll get there, don’t stress it!)
The goal is a puppy who feels safe with you, confident in the world around them, and equipped with the skills needed to navigate everyday life.
We focus on building strong relationships, positive experiences, and practical life skills that carry well into adolescence and adulthood.
