Puppy School
Bringing home a new puppy is one of life's greatest joys... but it can also be one of the biggest challenges!
​
From biting and toilet training to lead walking, recall, jumping up, and coping with new experiences, there is so much for a young puppy to learn. The first few months of a puppy's life are incredibly important and can have a lasting impact on how they feel about the world around them.
​
At Naughty Dog School, we believe that great training starts with great emotions.
Our Puppy School uses fun, force-free games to help puppies build confidence, develop focus, learn self-control, and create a strong bond with their owners. Rather than simply teaching commands, we help puppies develop the emotional skills they need to become calm, resilient, and well-rounded adult dogs.
​
Through carefully designed games and exercises, your puppy will learn essential life skills including recall, loose lead walking, calmness around distractions, confidence around people and dogs, and the ability to make good choices when faced with excitement or uncertainty.
​
​
Just as importantly, we'll help you understand your puppy. You'll learn how dogs learn, why puppies behave the way they do, and how to guide them through the challenges of puppyhood using kindness, understanding, and common sense.
​
Whether your goal is a family companion, an adventure buddy, or simply a happy dog who is a pleasure to live with, Puppy School will give you and your puppy the best possible start.
​
Because today's puppy becomes tomorrow's dog.
