In-Home Puppy Lessons

Our puppy lesson programs are designed to support puppies during their earliest learning stages while teaching owners how to build structure, routines, and healthy habits at home.

Guidance for owners. Foundations for puppies. Real-world habits that last.

What Puppy Lessons Are — and Aren’t

Puppy lessons provide one-on-one, in-home coaching focused on foundational obedience, household routines, and early learning. Training takes place in your home and selected environments to address real-life situations as they naturally occur.

These programs are not designed to replace Board & Train or Raise & Train options. Progress depends on owner participation, consistency between sessions, and realistic expectations based on the puppy’s age and development.

Ideal for:

  • Puppies between 8–16 weeks old
  • Families who want hands-on guidance during early development
  • Owners who want to learn how to train their puppy effectively

Not ideal for:

  • Owners seeking a send-out or board & train–style solution
  • Puppies outside the recommended age ranges
  • Families unable to participate consistently between lessons

Training Approach

Puppy lessons are designed to teach both the puppy and the owner. While puppies learn foundational behaviors and routines, owners are coached on timing, communication, and how to reinforce behaviors correctly between sessions.

Training emphasizes calm structure, clarity, and age-appropriate expectations, helping puppies build confidence while avoiding overwhelm. Our goal is to create a strong foundation that supports future training — whether through lessons, board & train, or continued development at home.
