Imagine not having to worry about your puppy being afraid of situations, play biting everyone, stealing things, peeing in the house and barking like crazy when they’re alone! A puppy who knows how to pay attention to you, how to act around other people and other dogs, pee in the right places, chew their own toys only, not use their needle sharp teeth on humans, come when called, be calm when needed.… how to deal with all the chaos and excitement in life & more!
Puppyhood (especially the first 16 weeks of your dog’s life) is the best time to lay the foundation for the canine companion of your dreams. If you’re looking forward to a calm, relaxed, easy-going, friendly, confident, well-adjusted adult dog – puppy training that includes systematic socialization, confidence building, installing life skills and training is the key. Our training methods are backed by science, effective, and tailored to fit the bustling lifestyle of our community.

- Your puppy’s dog-habits are growing faster than you have the time to train?
- You need to understandably focus on other equally important items on your checklist in your 24-hour day?
