Our Puppy Training Programs Help Your Puppy Shine in Real Life
Designed for puppies 8 weeks-1 year old
You imagined puppy snuggles, relaxing walks, and play time. What you got is chaos. One minute they’re asleep on your lap, the next they’re biting you with razor sharp teeth, peeing on the floor, and while you clean that they’ve stolen your socks.
We believe raising a puppy shouldn't have to feel so stressful. Let us handle the overwhelm for you. Choose from our done-for-you training or private coaching, so you can enjoy the adventures, cuddles, and everyday life you imagined with them.
“Jacqueline is AMAZING!! She has helped me out immensely with my puppy Skylar!! Skylar loves Jacqueline!! I can’t thank her enough for all her knowledge and help!!”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The moment your puppy comes home. And if they’ve already been home a while? The answer is still now. Early training builds trust, prevents problem behaviors, helps you troubleshoot tricky moments, and lets you both relax into daily life together.
-
What we will cover depends on the goals set in your individual consult session! Common behaviors include house manners (potty training, nipping, relaxing in the home), polite greetings, leash skills, recall, calm alone time, and confidence in new places. We focus on what makes daily life easier, not just what looks good on paper!
-
We know that adding dog training into your already busy schedule can feel daunting, especially with the importance of consistence! Done for you training allows us to lay the foundation, so you can enjoy the results through practice instead of teaching!
-
That’s what the initial consultation is for. We’ll chat about your puppy, your schedule, and your goals, then help match you with the best option.
-
Yes. Training should fit real life - just reach out and we’ll talk!
-
You’ll have the option to continue with advanced lessons, join our group classes, or simply enjoy your well-trained puppy. We’ll make sure you have a plan that keeps progress rolling.
