 Puppy Training Classes

If you recently picked up your new furry best pal, training them should be one of your top priorities, as establishing a fun environment and healthy friendship that will last for years. Getting your puppy trained will help your dog better understand their environment and how they fit into your life in terms of the pet/owner relationship. At Blackheart K9 Services, we can help make that happen. With over 20 years of experience, long-standing customer satisfaction, and different programs for puppies and older dogs, we are the clear choice.

What is your program like?

Getting a puppy can be fun and exciting, mainly because who doesn’t love puppies? Our puppy training programs vary depending on your desired behavior goals, but they vary between 2 and 3 weeks of training.

At Blackheart K9 Services, we cover all of the basics in our puppy training program. So we will be covering commands such as “stay,” “heel,” “sit,” and more. We will also cover crate training as well as potty training. These foundational skills for puppies will build basic obedience that will contribute to the beautiful relationship you can create with your new furry friend.

Nobody wants their puppy to grow up to be that dog who is still getting into things that they shouldn’t, being unnecessarily aggressive, protective, and having other negative attributes that will make owning your dog a burden on you and your family. That’s why getting your puppy trained by a professional with experience training other dogs is essential.

When should I start training my puppy?

When is it okay to start training a puppy on a leash?

Puppies that are around 8 weeks old can start training on a leash. Our training will help your dog feel comfortable being on a leash. Some dogs may be confused by it at first but will get used to it quickly and with the right push. For training, we will go as slowly as your puppy needs to become comfortable wearing a leash, collar, and the like. Something new like this can be overwhelming for dogs, so we take it as slow as possible when we can.

Leash training will cover common problems with walking with a leash, such as pulling and lunging. Pulling is especially common, and most puppies do it when they are learning the leash. Without the proper training, your dog could be pulling on the leash all through its adult life. Lunging is another common issue involving your dog trying to lunge at things in front of them, like another human, dog, or squirrel. We will teach your dog the right way to walk with a leash and not lunge or pull while you’re out for your walk.
