Puppy Training in Vermont
Professional, In-home Puppy Training in Vermont
Nothing does more to set your new puppy up for success than early and effective dog training. The best part is, with in-home puppy training by Green Mountain Dog Training, you get to define what “success” means for your new addition.
As with all of our in-home dog training programs, we customize the training regimen to suit your pup and lifestyle. We assume most families will want their puppy to learn basic obedience, good leash behavior, and where to use the bathroom. After that, it’s up to you!
If you like your puppy to sit on the furniture with you, we won’t train that away. It’s just important to remember that the decision to jump on the couch must be yours and not your dog’s. That’s the big key to letting your dog hold onto its spunk while still keeping firm boundaries. Puppy training allows us to help you build that kind of confident, trusting relationship from the start.
These are some common puppy problems we see and remedy:
- House training – We help you design a potty-training regimen that will work with your schedule and your puppy’s small bladder.
- Basic Obedience – Teaching your dog to sit, stay, come also helps your dog learn to focus on you rather than whatever distraction is around.
- Preparation – We can help you think ahead and prepare your home for your new puppy’s arrival.
- Developing Structure – Dogs of all ages need dependability from their humans, and we’re here to help you create a schedule that ensures all your pup’s behavioral and physical needs are met.
- Setting Boundaries – This is all about communication. We’ll help you communicate boundaries to your puppy so that you feel confident putting them in place now and in the future.
- Leash Behavior – We’ll get your dog used to wearing a collar and walking nicely on the leash.
- Socialization – Because young puppies won’t have all of their vaccinations, we don’t recommend letting them loose in a dog park or exposing them to many other dogs. However, we can help you prepare for when the time is right.
- Introduction to Household – Puppies don’t always get along with everyone in the household right away. Excited children can overwhelm them, and they may feel threatened by larger or more active animals. We can help you set up an environment in which everyone gets used to one another without the drama.
