Comprehensive Puppy Program
As your puppy grows, new challenges often emerge. Increased independence, testing boundaries, distractions in public, and inconsistent obedience are all part of the journey. The Comprehensive Puppy Program is built around these realities, preparing your puppy for life both at home and out in the real world.
This program is structured around 12 sessions and is available for puppies between 2 and 12 months of age. Sessions take place both in your home and out in the real world — parks, downtown areas, and the everyday environments your puppy will encounter throughout their life. This is an important distinction. Training indoors is one thing, but the real test of a puppy’s training is how they handle the distractions, sounds, and unpredictability of the outside world. This program prepares them for both.
What We Cover:
The Comprehensive Puppy Program includes the core areas of early puppy training such as crate training, toilet training, nipping, basic obedience, socialisation, as well as a wider range of skills for everyday life:
Loose Leash Walking
Teaching your puppy to walk calmly beside you without pulling, in your neighborhood and in busier, more distracting environments.
House Manners
Building good habits around the home, from not jumping on furniture to greeting guests politely.
Boundaries
Teaching your puppy to respect physical and behavioral boundaries, creating a calmer, more manageable dog at home and in public.
Additional Obedience Cues
Expanding your puppy’s skills and strengthening your ability to communicate clearly and effectively in a variety of situations.
Prevention of Common Behavioral Issues
Alongside the core training, we work on building the right habits and boundaries early, reducing the likelihood of common problems like resource guarding and separation anxiety developing down the line.
Impulse Control
One of the most valuable thing a young dog can learn. A puppy with good impulse control is safer, easier to manage, and better equipped to handle the distractions of everyday life.
Why Early Training Matters:
Puppies are constantly learning, whether we're actively teaching them or not. Starting early means you're shaping behavior before unwanted habits have a chance to set in. It also means building a foundation of trust and communication between you and your dog that will benefit you for years to come. Many behavioral challenges seen in adult dogs can be traced back to gaps in early training and socialisation, which is exactly what this program is designed to address.
Who This Program Is For:
The Comprehensive Puppy Program is for owners who want to commit to their puppy’s training fully from the beginning, with professional support that covers every stage of early development. This program ensures your puppy’s training is reliable everywhere, not just indoors. If you have a puppy between 2 and 12 months and want professional support that goes beyond the home environment, this program is designed for you.
