Our 4-week puppy training program is designed to give your puppy a solid foundation in socialization, obedience, and leash training. From day one, we start building the skills they’ll need to grow into a well-behaved and confident companion. Here’s what your puppy will experience during their time with us:
Week 1: Socialization & Leash Introduction
In the first week, we introduce your puppy to new environments, people, and sounds while also starting leash training right away. This early exposure helps them feel comfortable and confident.
- Leash training begins immediately, teaching your puppy to walk calmly by your side.
- Socialization with new people, animals, and sounds to prevent fear and anxiety.
- Short, positive walks in new environments to build comfort and trust.
Week 2: Basic Commands & Leash Work
In the second week, we focus on teaching essential commands while continuing leash training. Your puppy will learn to respond to your guidance both on and off the leash.
- Commands like Sit, Stay, Come, and Down introduced during daily leash walks and training sessions.
- Leash training progresses, increasing your puppy’s focus and control as they explore new areas.
- Teaching polite behavior, like not pulling on the leash or jumping on people.
Week 3: Crate, Potty, and Leash Training Continuation
By week three, we focus on establishing a routine that includes crate and potty training while reinforcing leash skills.
- Crate training encourages your puppy to see the crate as a safe and comfortable space.
- Potty training is reinforced with a consistent schedule to ensure success.
- Leash walking continues, gradually introducing more distractions to help your puppy stay focused.
Week 4: Advanced Leash Training & Command Reinforcement
In the final week, we build on everything your puppy has learned. We challenge them with new situations, ensuring they can respond to commands and behave well in various real-life scenarios.
- Leash walking in busy environments with distractions like people, other dogs, and noise.
- Reinforcing commands in different settings to ensure reliability under various conditions.
- Focus on solidifying good leash behavior and command responsiveness.
Further Training
While your puppy will complete the program with a strong foundation in obedience and leash skills, we highly recommend continuing their training as they grow. Ongoing training helps maintain their good behavior, enhances their obedience, and prepares them for more advanced skills as they mature.
By the end of our 4-week program, your puppy will be well on their way to becoming a happy, well-mannered companion.
