Puppy Training

Smart Starts Puppy Programs

Bringing home a new puppy is so exciting, but it's also a huge responsibility!  How you handle your puppy early on can either make him an enjoyable, life-long companion or a destructive, little monster that just does not listen.  And the internet is no help with conflicting information at every turn!  

We are here to help give you the tools you need to set your new baby up for a happy, healthy life with you and your family.  We will teach you everything you need to know to make training your new puppy as easy, fun and enjoyable as possible.

No matter which program you choose, we will cover topics such as...
  • What to look for when choosing your puppy                       
  • What socialization is and how to do it properly                                                                                 
  • Housetraining                                                                           
  • Basic obedience training                        
  • How to stop play biting/nipping                                             
  • How to stop behavioral problems before they start    
  • Crate training         
  • Preventing separation anxiety
  • Loose-leash walking
  • How to get your puppy to LOVE coming when called
And so much more! 

Our puppy programs are specially designed to help you train your dream dog -- a dog you can take with you anywhere, will mix well with people and other dogs, and is fun to be around.

Our programs include support from us by phone, text or e-mail for the first year after the program ends.

Smart Starts Well-Mannered Dog Program (initial training session and 1 follow-up lesson)

This program is designed to work specifically on living better with your puppy right away!  We will tackle annoying problem behaviors with your cutie like jumping, mouthing, stealing, chewing, housebreaking, and barking.  Yes!  When your follow our instruction, your dog will be well mannered after just two lessons!  You will see a noticeable difference in your pup immediately!  

This program is best suited to a family that is able to practice without as much hands-on assistance from the trainer.
​
We will cover life skills like off, quiet, drop it, leave it, crate, come when called, go to place, sit/stay, and down/stay. 
*3 Bonus games to get your puppy excited and wanting to come every time you call

Smart Starts  Program Dream Dog (initial training session and 3 follow-up lessons)

This program is designed to teach your puppy to listen reliably in any situation through obedience, games, and behavioral commands.   Of course, we will solve all of the behavior problems mentioned in the Well-Behaved Puppy Program, but having more commands and lessons at your home will give you a puppy who is trained more reliably.  Those two additional lessons give you extra time to learn with the trainer, way more commands, and a chance to practice putting your dog in real-world scenarios.  
​
We will cover life skills like off, quiet, drop it, leave it, crate, come when called, go to place, sit/stay, and down/stay just like the well-mannered dog program, but with this program we will also be doing loose-leash walking and off-leash control. In addition, we will go places together and often I bring one of my dogs to use as a distraction.
*3 Bonus games to get your dog excited and wanting to come every time you call

 Smart Starts Dream Dog Ultra Program - Transform the puppy you have to the Dream Dog  you've always wanted- (initial training session and 5 follow-up lessons)

Think about what it would be like to have the dog of your dreams - your IDEAL dog!  You would be able to take that dog anywhere with you.  People rave about how your dog is so well behaved.  They would make remarks about your dog being the smartest.  

The Smart Starts Dream Dog Ultra Program is for those who want the absolute best training experience for their puppy.  The extra time with us means your puppy will be reliable sooner, and we will be right there with you every step of the way!  Your training schedule is very structured with each week being mapped out.  And we get extra practice going to distracting places to ensure your puppy does super!  


We cover all of the life skills like off, quiet, drop it, leave it, crate, come when called, go to place, sit/stay, and down/stay just like the well-mannered dog program, we also will be doing loose-leash walking and off-leash control as in the Smart Starts Dream Dog Program, but, in addition, your dog will be more reliable with all of the on-leash and off-leash skills. With those two extra lessons this program affords, we have time to go more places to really focus on proofing behaviors. 
*3 Bonus games to get your dog excited and wanting to come every time you call
*3 Bonus scheduled phone calls from the trainer
*3 Bonus Tricks:  Fist Bump, Shake, High-five 

*Lifetime Support Guarantee
