Puppy Training

about Our Puppy Training Programs

Training begins the moment you bring your new dog home! Our puppy programs are designed to start your puppy off on the right paw. These programs help to establish basic obedience, socialization, and communication. We will teach you how to implement structure to encourage consistent behavior and prevent unwanted behaviors. 

These programs are for puppies over 10 weeks and under 5 months old. If your dog is over five months of age, see our standard programs (Board & Trains or Private Training Programs).

Some of the concepts covered in our Puppy Training Programs include:

  • Basic Obedience
  • Marker Training
  • Socialization
  • Potty Training
  • Crate Training
  • Establishing a Routine

What To Expect in our puppy jump-start

Lessons take place at our training facility located in downtown Belgrade. Each private lesson is thirty minutes long and may include a discussion of behavioral or training concerns, an active training session teaching commands, or a combination of both.

We recommend scheduling lessons one to two weeks apart. While the frequency of your training is entirely up to you, it is best to schedule regularly, as this will allow your trainer to periodically check in on the progression of your puppy’s training and answer any questions you have along the way. 

what to expect in our puppy Board & Train

Our Puppy Board & Train is an immersive program that trains your dog in one of our trainer’s homes. Your dog will board and train with their trainer in their home. This style of training translates seamlessly into your home environment.

This program will introduce a basic obedience foundation to your puppy. We will also work to establish a potty routine and potty cue, loose leash walking, stability around distractions, and environmental confidence and neutrality. This program will give you ways to correct problem behaviors like jumping and biting while rewarding the good behaviors you want.

Your dog will train both at home and around basic distractions and stimulation to help ensure the structure and obedience your puppy is learning will translate directly to real life.

During training, you will receive a daily report and video to stay informed on your dog’s progress.

Once training is over, we will spend 1-2 hours reviewing what your dog has learned during their training with us. We call this a “turnover.” This owner training session will include the following:

  • Learning about motivations and rewards
  • Understanding and giving new commands and how to communicate with clarity
  • How to correct unwanted behaviors & reinforce and reward desired behavior
  • Learning how to stay in control and communicate with your dog
  • How to set and maintain a routine to set your puppy up for success
