Puppy Training

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting but it also comes with many questions and challenges. Puppy training lays the foundation for a happy, confident dog and a strong, positive relationship between you and your puppy.

What Puppy Training Covers

Our puppy training focuses on the most important early skills and habits, including:

  • Potty training: Establishing a consistent routine to prevent accidents.

  • Crate training: Helping your puppy see the crate as a safe, comfortable space.

  • Socialization: Gently introducing your puppy to people, dogs, and environments to build confidence and reduce fear.

  • Basic obedience: Teaching early cues like sit, come, and leave it using positive reinforcement techniques.

Why Positive Reinforcement Works for Puppies?

Positive reinforcement training encourages your puppy to learn through rewards and praise, reducing stress and building trust. This gentle approach helps puppies become well-adjusted, eager learners.

Personalized Training Approach

Every puppy is unique. Training is adapted to your puppy’s temperament, breed traits, and your family’s lifestyle. Whether you live in Jersey City, Hoboken, or nearby New Jersey areas, sessions are designed to fit your schedule and goals.

Prevent Future Behavior Problems

Early training helps prevent common issues such as separation anxiety, excessive barking, chewing, and leash reactivity. Setting strong habits now supports a well-mannered adult dog.
