Puppy Training
Basic Puppy Training $999
Your puppy (9 weeks to 6 months) has arrived and it’s time to embark on a journey of training and bonding. A well-trained puppy not only brings joy and happiness, but also creates a harmonious relationship between the guardian and the puppy.
We offer 5 one-on-one sessions that are tailored to meet the unique needs of your puppy. These sessions can be conducted with just the trainer or with the guardian, depending on your preference. During the sessions, your puppy will learn the following commands:
- “Come”: A basic command that encourages your puppy to return to you when called.
- “Sit” and “Extended Sit”: Your puppy will learn to sit on command and remain in the sitting position until told otherwise.
- “Down” and “Extended Down”: This command teaches your puppy to lie down and remain in the down position until told otherwise.
- “Place” and “Extended Place”: Your puppy will learn to go to a specific location, such as a mat, and remain there until told otherwise.
- “Out”: This command teaches your puppy to drop any item upon request that she/he has put in their mouth.
- “Loose Leash Walking”: Your puppy will learn to walk calmly and comfortably by your side on a leash.
- “Off”: Your pup will learn not to jump on you or others.
Our trainers will use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and build their confidence. By the end of the training, your puppy will have a strong foundation in obedience and be well on their way to becoming a well-behaved companion.
Investing in puppy training is a commitment to creating a happy and harmonious relationship with your dog. With patience and consistency, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal companion who will bring joy and laughter to your life.
