The best time to start puppy training is earlier than many people think. Your puppy starts learning the day they come home, whether you planned a lesson or not.

Training Starts at Home

Potty routines, feeding, crate time, leash handling, and how you respond to biting are all training. If you are not intentional, your puppy still learns, but maybe not what you wanted.

Keep Lessons Short

Young puppies do best with short, successful sessions. A few minutes of good training is better than pushing until the puppy gets tired and wild.

Do Not Wait for Bad Habits

Jumping, biting, chewing, pulling, and ignoring recall are easier to prevent than fix later.

What Puppies Should Learn First

Start with name recognition, come, crate comfort, potty routine, gentle handling, sit, down, place, and calm behavior around people.

Choosing a Puppy Class

A good puppy class should build confidence, manners, focus, and safe exposure. Our puppy classes are designed to help owners build that foundation.
