Overview
Puppies can be a handful and it can become overwhelming easily. How to teach your puppy to go potty in a proper place? How to stop them from biting your hands or chewing on furniture? What to do if puppies are crying when left alone? How to drain that endless puppy energy? And this is just to start!
This 12-week puppy training program was created to support puppy owners and give them all the needed information to make a puppy raising process easier and more structured.
We will meet for a weekly session in your house, do some training exercises with your puppy and coach you how to do those exercises, so you can train your own dog! You will learn why puppies do certain things and how to teach them to do things you want from them. We will discuss all the issues you experience with your puppy and come up with a strategy to overcome those issues. You will also learn about common mistakes new puppy owners make and how to train your dog to be a confident pup that you can easily take into public places, travel together, trust around dogs or people, or left alone at home when needed.
This 12-week Puppy Training Program is a mixture ofprivate coaching sessions in your home, access to training plan with video + text instructions for all exercises, a detailed homework plan for you to work on between sessions and unlimited information support via chat or email.

🍪 What if I encounter other puppy issues not covered in the list?
Most puppies undergo the same issues, but if, for some reason, this program does not cover it, we will be able to add a certain amount of customization to the training program.
🧑🦰 Is it a force-free R+ positive reinforcement training program?
Yes, it is! You will learn to train your puppy using food and playtime as reinforcement. We will not use harsh tools, punishment, or correction. All the training strategies we use follow the latest animal behavior science and ensure that we consider your pup’s wellness.
🍼 What is the best age to start training a puppy?
You should start training your puppy as soon as it gets home! Certain things (like proper socialization) should be done before your puppy is 13 weeks old, so starting training at eight weeks is ideal. Depending on your puppy’s age, we will adjust the program and start with age-appropriate training exercises.
💉 What if my puppy doesn’t have all the shots yet?
Don’t worry; we will have a session at your home and take all the precautions. You should not wait for all the shots to be done before starting the training.
How does this program work
1️⃣ We start with initial session. This session will give me a chance to meet you and your puppy, answer all the questions you probably have and explain how the training process will look like.
2️⃣ We will meet weekly on a designated day and have a 45-min training session. We will do lots of hands-on training and discuss a training plan for the next week.
3️⃣ Every week you will have a home practice to do with your puppy. This home practice will include 2-3 exercises to do on a daily basis (or more often if you have extra time!) and it will require 10-20 minutes of total time a day.
4️⃣ You will receive customised training notes after each session. You will also have access to training library with video and text instructions for all the exercises we will be working on.
5️⃣ Unlimited online support via chat. You will be able to contact me via text and ask as many questions as needed and get all the support.
