Puppy Training
For ages 8 weeks - 6 months
Have you recently welcomed a puppy into your family? Starting training early in life is one of the most impactful things a pet parent can do for their young pup. Heart of Gold Canine’s expert trainers are here to get your puppy started off right and pave the way for your best possible relationship together!
Start Off on the Right Paw!
Puppies learn most of their life-long beliefs during the first four months of their life. Socializing your puppy and teaching them skills during this time period will help to guarantee a strong and lasting relationship for life. Heart of Gold Canine’s exclusive puppy training programs give your young one broad exposure to new people, places, objects, and sounds. Your puppy deserves the best opportunity to learn about the world in a safe, controlled environment in order to develop into the most confident and happy adult! A well socialized puppy grows to a confident, stable adult.
Whether you want a companion or a working partner - training your new puppy begins the moment you set eyes on each other! Our puppy training programs are structured, interactive, educational and social play experiences tailored for the needs of puppies. They’ll get to:
​
-
Practice and learn appropriate social skills with new friends (canine and human!)
​​
-
Experience new sights, sounds, smells, and settings
​​
-
Receive puppy-specific training sessions to help establish early obedience and good manners
​​
-

Puppy Preschool
We always begin with an initial consultation where we’ll teach you how to solve common puppy concerns like play biting and house training while focusing on your individual goals and challenges. Preschool is a combination of group learning and day training, and is an available option for students under 6 months of age.​
During their day with us your puppy will engage in daily social play with puppies of similar play style, temperament, and age, while being trained in manners and exposure to new experiences! The primary objective is to build confidence in your puppy with new sensations and experiences as well as introducing basic commands, handling for bathing, agility, and proper play with humans and other doggie friends. The group classes continue working to develop good behaviors, manners, and social development and get the support you need to redirect undesirable behaviors. We want your puppy to be confident and comfortable around different people, places, and objects!​
