🐾 Choose your path:

A 4-session private coaching package for puppies under 6 months.
Perfect if you want personal support and fast progress with jumping, biting, chaos at the door, and “won’t settle” evenings.
Option 2: Puppy Start Right Plus (Group + Private Support)
My structured puppy class option: group training for social learning + 2 private sessions to tailor skills to your home life.
Our puppy programs
In order to help you achieve training success, we do not offer individual training sessions for young puppies (under 6 months of age). It is not possible to teach your puppy everything they need to know in a single session. Instead, we have tailored our puppy programs to provide guidance for the most frequent puppy problems. Whether you’re looking for advice before bringing your first dog home or are a seasoned pet parent hoping to train a service dog, our puppy programs offer compassionate solutions for all of your puppy problems.
If you’re excited to get started, choose the puppy package which best suits your needs and we’ll schedule your initial meeting. If you’d like a social learning experience with other puppies, choose Puppy Start Right Plus. If you’d prefer private coaching focused on your puppy’s real-life challenges at home, choose Puppy Jumpstart.
Puppy Start Right Plus
4 one-hour group puppy classes + 2 private coaching sessions (approx. 45 minutes each).
Join in the fun with our group learning & socialization class but with the benefit of two private home visits as well. This package is designed to supercharge your puppy’s education with a focus on establishing helpful routines, fine-tuning crate and potty training, foundation manners, and introducing pup to other friendly young dogs.
Puppy Jumpstart
4 private coaching sessions designed to build strong foundations—without overwhelm.
Puppy Jumpstart is ideal if you want personalized support with the most common puppy struggles, including jumping on people and puppy biting/mouthiness.
Together we’ll create simple routines and practice the skills that matter most: focus, impulse control, polite greetings, and calm behavior—so your puppy grows into a well-mannered family dog.
Perfect Puppy
through adolescence.
In addition to the basic manners covered in Puppy Jumpstart, we’ll take training field trips to test pup’s skills in novel situations in preparation for the Canine Good Citizen Test. Best for future service dogs or families who want long-term coaching.
Weekly training sessions from 8 to 16 weeks.
Biweekly sessions 17 to 25 weeks.
