Puppy Training: The early days don’t have to feel like survival mode
Bringing home a puppy is equal parts joy, teeth, and mystery stains.
One minute they’re asleep on your lap, the next they’ve stolen your sock and are zooming around the kitchen table, or on it. Centre Stage Dog Training offers carefully crafted training packages designed for every stage of your puppy’s development.
Each program comes with built-in support: personalized notes after lessons, feedback between sessions, and video reviews to help you stay on course.
“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!!”
- Patti B.
Step 1: Start with a Consultation
In-person: $175 | Virtual: $160 (1 hour)
Every great training plan starts with a conversation. During an initial consultation we’ll assess your puppy’s needs, set clear goals, and get started on training right away. You’ll leave with a personalized training plan and recommendations for the best program to match your lifestyle and your puppy.

- Melissa

All puppy-program families and graduates get priority access to our small group classes. These are limited to five dogs or fewer, giving you personal feedback while your puppy learns to focus around real-world distractions.
One popular example is Patio Pups - a confidence-building series that takes you and your puppy to local patios, markets, and town walks to practice calm behavior in public. Classes are offered in Wethersfield, CT and surrounding areas. Virtual and pop-up options are also available for graduates.
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.
-
What we will cover depends on the goals set in your individual consult session and the length of your training package! Common behaviors include house manners, 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!
-
Training in your real environment helps new habits stick faster. Virtual sessions means you can troubleshoot even when the trainer isn’t with you, and get support without waiting for your next appointment.
-
That’s what the initial consultation is for. We’ll chat about your puppy, your schedule, and your goals, then match you with the best option.
-
Yes. Training should fit real life - just reach out and we’ll work it out.
-
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.
