The Most Important Things to Think About When Raising a Puppy
Raising a puppy, whether it's your first time or you haven't raised a puppy in years, can be exhausting and confusing. Why is your puppy doing that? Why won't they just listen? Where did this shark come from and where is the sleepy bundle of fur that you thought you brought home?
Daily Life
Making sure your puppy learns where they should potty (and where they shouldn't!), how to entertain themselves (without destroying your furniture), and how to relax are some of the key skills puppies need to learn in order to help you have a happy home.
Manners
Whether you just want your puppy to stop biting everyone or you want them to learn obedience skills (like sit, leave it, and stay) and listen, manners are very important and one of the first things you want to help your puppy learn to understand.
Socialization
Puppies are vulnerable to tons of environmental learning, sometimes good and sometimes bad. We want to make sure you help your puppy learn to be as confident as possible so they can explore the world at your side without fear.

Training Philosophy
(And why it matters!)
You want what is best for your puppy and your life and so do we. Since dog training is unregulated, it can be hard to determine if a dog trainer will fit your values while helping you on this journey.
Compassion
Care and love center our training philosophy. We want your puppy to learn to listen and be able to better regulate, but not at the expense of their personality or happiness. That's why compassion is an important part of how we train.
L.I.M.A.
LIMA stands for Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive. What this means is that we focus on humane training methods and what we want your puppy TO do, but we are knowledgeable with a wide range of techniques and tools and will use what works best for you and your puppy.
Science
We make sure to stay up to date on canine science and the most recent canine behavior research. And we want to make sure you can understand that, as well, to help you understand your puppy and their needs.
Efficient
Dog training takes time, but we understand that both time and money are limited. So we make sure that we're doing everything as efficiently as possible so that you can get the most for your time and money.
Fun
If you enjoy something, you're more likely to remember it and your puppy is the same! So we want to make sure that you and your puppy are learning, but also able to have fun and remember everything we go over.
Customized
Every puppy is different as is every life and home. We want to make sure to set you and your puppy up for success. So every training plan and training summary is personalized to you. We customize everything so that you and your puppy can achieve your goals.
