In-home lessons for puppies under 16 weeks (about 4 months), potty, crate, biting, socialization, and leash manners.

A new puppy is pure joy, and a whole lot of chewing, potty accidents, and sharp little teeth. What you do in those first weeks shapes the dog they become, so it pays to start right.
We focus on puppies under 16 weeks (about 4 months). For pups under 16 weeks (before their rabies shot), we come to you with in-home puppy lessons, building the foundation gently, then map out a clear path into our programs as your pup grows.

The stuff that's driving you a little crazy, sorted, gently and early.
A calm, consistent routine that gets your puppy reliably potty trained and happy in the crate, fewer accidents, better sleep for everyone.
Those needle teeth on hands, feet, and pant legs? We teach bite inhibition and redirect the nipping so play stays fun.
Positive, age-appropriate exposure to people, sounds, and (safe) dogs in the critical window, the key to a confident, friendly adult dog.
We introduce the leash the right way from the start, so walks grow into something you both look forward to.
Calm focus and good habits in short, fun, puppy-sized sessions. The exact foundation we work on is tailored to your pup on your free consultation.
For pups under 16 weeks, we come to you, so your puppy learns in the place they're growing up, with the whole family involved.
A clear plan from tiny puppy to well-mannered dog.

The window is short. A puppy's prime socialization window closes fast. What they learn now is far easier than fixing habits later.
Prevent, don't repair. Heading off biting, jumping, and leash-pulling early means you never have to undo them.
A bond from the start. Gentle, positive training builds trust between you and your puppy from the very first week home.

"…came back a whole new dog… He had no manners… now more calm, especially walking on a leash…"
"…went from a wild thing that didn't listen and couldn't walk on a leash… Our walks are now perfect. No pulling and she checks in with me… she actually comes to me!"
