Home Setup: We can figure out the best place to have your puppy, what it can access, and plan for housetraining. A setup plan is especially valuable with kids so that everyone can have their own space but also the ability to interact. Puppy Training/Basic Manners: Learning how to sit, lay down, and stay is important, but so is learning to drop things they pick up on the street, not to jump on people/counters & not to beg for food while you're having dinner! Loose Leash Walking: You want to be able to take it on leisurely strolls around your neighborhood. Let's make sure that happens with some quick loose leash walking training! Dog Body Language: Dogs have their own communication language. Tap into these signals to read your dog and what they are trying to tell you. Puppy Socialization: Puppies have a critical socialization period of 16 weeks. This is a short window to positively socialize your puppy to people, kids, dogs, noises, walking canes, and anything else we can think of, to avoid issues later on in their life. Safe Puppy Playdates: To help with socialization, I provide safe play dates for your puppy to play with other dogs. The dogs I choose for play dates can be puppies or older dogs with great play styles that socialize & teach him/her proper play etiquette. Recall Training: One of the best ways to have a well behaved puppy is exercise and being able to call your dog back at a moment's notice is critical. Plus, you'll impress all the other dog owners.
