Puppy Education & Beginner Training

$1200 for 6 sessions / Virtual $1000

Getting a new puppy can be both exciting and scary, especially if you have never raised a puppy before. For first-time owners, it’s important to note that puppies aren’t small furry humans – they are a completely different species with their own natural behaviors and desires.

All puppies must be consistently trained, so that they grow up into a well-mannered, sweet, and loving dog that everyone dreams of having. Teaching your puppy how to learn and how to engage are truly life lessons that will follow your puppy throughout its adult life. The key to success is maintaining motivation during your puppies education and keeping it fun.
