How You Know…
You’ve Got a New Puppy!
You don’t need to set your alarm clock any more because a new furry friend helps with that! Only problem is… sometimes your new “alarm” also goes off in the middle of the night.
Your once tidy home now looks more like the aftermath of a tornado
Shoes, socks, and remotes… what are those? Anything detachable is now relegated to a new purpose, chew toy!
Work and your new puppy is like walking a tightrope while juggling flaming pineapples… It’s not happening. Thank goodness for “work from home,” for now…
You’ve had to run to CVS for more laundry detergent because your previous subscribe-and-save schedule just doesn’t cut it with the amount of laundry your new friend helps to create!
A life. What is that? Everything “pre” is now a fuzzy memory. You’re now in a time loop with a puppy - feeding, training, walking, cleaning, repeat over and over until you collapse into bed at the end of the day.
Everyone else sees a fluffy angel, but you know better… It’s a baby piranha with fur.
The honeymoon phase is officially over and “puppy blues” are descending quickly!

Puppyhood is a crucial time for your new family member, and investing in their training is one of the most important things you can do for their future. Here’s why:
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Puppy training helps prevent problem behaviors like chewing, barking, biting, and jumping up on people. With a little effort now, you’ll avoid having to invest tons of time and money to fix preventable behavior problems in the future!
Builds trust and strengthens the bond: Training helps to create a common language between you and your puppy. This builds trust and strengthens the bond between you and your puppy.
Natural leadership: Once your puppy sees that you “get” them, they’ll naturally want to follow you. This makes things like loose leash walking, recalls, and obedience easy.
Socialization done right: Puppy training provides a framework for socialization done correctly. Using a systematic approach and exposing your puppy at a level they can handle is critical for developing a well-adjust adult dog.
Skills: By teaching your puppy basic obedience skills, you'll be able to help them navigate challenging situations. For example, visitor at the door? You can help your puppy to “place.” A few basic skills, like place, makes it much easier to keep everyone safe and happy.
Improves quality of life: A well-trained puppy is a happier and healthier pup. We teach you how to set up the optimal schedule and environment for your little one. This will ensure your puppy can thrive! And a content puppy means your life is easier too!
Makes future training easier: Starting early with puppy training sets the stage for future training, making it easier to teach new skills and reinforce good behavior.
It’s just fun! Training provides a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your puppy. This makes your puppy look forward to training sessions and spending time with you!
