Basic Puppy Obedience Training

Puppy Laying Down

A well-behaved puppy starts here

What happened?? Your once-sweet little puppy is sleeping less, getting bigger, biting everything, and becoming more rambunctious by the minute. It’s time for some obedience basics!

This program introduces the basic obedience commands at a level appropriate for your puppy. The emphasis is on teaching impulse control, calming wild behavior, and arming you with daily strategies for creating structure in your puppy’s life and helping them thrive.

Our training emphasizes positive reinforcement, with lots of treats and fun training games you can play together at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Everyone is welcome! It's important for everyone in the household to be on the same page. Consistency is key for puppies! Kids under 12 years old don't tend to tune in as well, but there are lots of seating areas in my training yard for them to hang out, as long as they can self-entertain.

  • Once per week is best, but as the sessions are private, we can go at your own pace.

  • All sessions in Puppy Kindergarten are held outdoors in my training yard in Lake Balboa. We have lots of shade, and lights for evening sessions.

  • Because the sessions are private, we schedule them at your convenience. Daytime, evening, and weekend time slots are available.
