How our puppy training programs work
No puppy training program is one size fits all, that's why our training programs are personalized to the puppy and owner.
After discussing your training goals with our team, your trainer will create a program tailored to your needs. During your lessons, we will help you with puppyhood basics, guide you through the potty training process, train basic obedience skills, and tackle specific issues by teaching you the training techniques. You’ll learn how to reinforce good behaviors, overcome training challenges, and maintain good manners. Based on your progress your trainer will also assign weekly homework, this allows you to keep practicing your puppy's new skills in between lessons.
In addition to training lessons, a number of our programs include tutoring lessons 1-1 with your trainer to support their progress, and further their training skills individually.

These lessons can be used for expecting puppy parents to set up their household and routine for a new family member, to help with settling in the first week your puppy is home, or as a check-in prior to beginning training lessons to make sure you are on the right track with things like potty training, crate and household set up, and more.

Tutor lessons are only available for in-home training and cannot be done on-site or virtually.
Wondering what program is right for you and your puppy?
We recognize that every puppy is different and so are their people. Because of this all of our training programs are customizable and all of our curriculums can be modified to work with you and your puppy on specific and individual goals.
For experienced owners looking for extra guidance with their puppy, to focus on one or two things and have a lot of time to dedicate to their puppy we recommend our intro program.
The everyday puppy owner who has some experience and is just looking for basic training and guidance with their training should consider our basic puppy program.
Owners looking for a more in-depth training experience, starting with no skills, experiencing more challenges, or have a laundry list of training goals should consider the starter or plus program.
