Build the habits you want for a brighter future.
Private puppy training helps you build calm home routines, communication, and everyday manners.
You get hands-on coaching for the puppy challenges showing up at home and on your walks.
Your puppy is learning everything from potty routines and crate comfort to calm greetings and leash habits.
As your puppy is ready, we add neighborhood walks and real-world practice around the distractions you meet every day.
You leave each visit with clear work for you and your puppy to repeat between sessions.
Who Puppy Training Is For
The habits that get built in the first few months — for better or worse.
Your puppy is overwhelmed by the crowds, noise, and new environments
Your puppy's biting, jumping, or mouthing gets worse before it gets better
Your puppy pulls on walks and struggles to focus around distractions
Your puppy's potty training is stalled past the "it's just a puppy" stage

Puppy Training FAQs
My puppy panics near busy areas — is that normal?
It can be. Start with calm engagement at home, then introduce neighborhood traffic and busier environments gradually at a distance your puppy can handle.
When should puppy training start?
Foundational work can begin around 8–10 weeks with name response, potty routines, crate comfort, gentle handling, and short, age-appropriate practice at home.
How do I get started?
Start by requesting information about the puppy program or scheduling a free phone consultation to discuss your puppy, your goals, and the right starting plan.
My puppy is shy or fearful, not overexcited — does this still apply?
Yes. Use clear communication at a pace that fits your puppy, introducing people, dogs, and environments only as your puppy is ready.
How is this different from a group puppy class?
With private training, you work in your home and around your routines, so coaching addresses the daily challenges your puppy actually faces instead of a generic class environment.
How many sessions will my puppy need?
The Puppy Foundations plan includes five private in-home sessions. We can discuss your puppy on a quick phone call to confirm this is the right starting point.
When should I start training my puppy?
Training can begin as soon as your puppy comes home. Early training is usually simple and age appropriate. You’re teaching routines, communication, boundaries, engagement, and basic behaviors rather than expecting a young puppy to perform like a fully trained adult dog.
Can you help with potty training?
Yes. Potty training is largely about creating a consistent schedule, supervising the puppy, managing freedom inside the house, and rewarding the correct behavior. I’ll help you develop a routine that makes sense for your puppy and household.
Can you help with puppy biting and mouthing?
Yes. Mouthing is common in puppies, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore it. We’ll work on appropriate ways to manage and redirect the behavior while teaching your puppy clearer boundaries.
My puppy keeps jumping on people. Can we work on that?
Yes. Jumping is often unintentionally reinforced because people give puppies attention when they jump. We’ll work on teaching your puppy that keeping their feet on the ground and showing calmer behavior is what earns attention.
Do you train my puppy for me?
I work directly with your puppy, but owner participation is an important part of the process. My job is also to teach you how to handle, communicate with, and continue training your puppy when I’m not there.
Do you offer group puppy classes?
My training is private and takes place in your home. This allows us to focus on your puppy, your household, and the specific problems you’re dealing with instead of following the same lesson plan for an entire group.
