Puppy Foundations
Private, in-home training focused on early structure, socialization, and confidence building during your puppy’s most important developmental window.
Why Early Training Matters
Puppies are constantly learning — whether we’re teaching intentionally or not.
Early training:
-
Prevents jumping, biting, and leash frustration from becoming habits
-
Builds emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
-
Creates clarity around household rules and expectations
-
Establishes trust between you and your dog
-
Develops resilience and confidence in new situations
A structured foundation now saves months (or years) of frustration later.
