Puppy Training at Glass City K9

Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting experience but comes with challenges. At Glass City K9, we specialize in puppy training to help set your furry friend up for a lifetime of success. Our programs focus on teaching essential skills and addressing common puppy behaviors, ensuring your pet grows into a well-mannered and confident companion.

Why Puppy Training Is Important

The early months of a puppy’s life are crucial for their development. Proper training during this time builds a strong foundation for good behavior and prevents future problems. Here are some key reasons why puppy training is essential:

  • Socialization: Introducing your puppy to new people, dogs, and environments helps them feel comfortable and confident.
  • Behavior Management: Early training addresses common issues like chewing, biting, and jumping before they become ingrained habits.
  • Obedience Skills: Teaching basic commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “come” lays the groundwork for advanced training in the future.

What Our Puppy Training Program Includes

Our puppy training program is designed to cover all the essentials for raising a well-behaved dog. Here’s what we focus on:

1. Crate and Potty Training

  • Establishing a routine to prevent accidents in the house
  • Teaching your puppy to feel safe and comfortable in their crate

2. Socialization

  • Exposure to different people, animals, and environments
  • Preventing fear and anxiety in new situations

3. Basic Commands

  • Teaching foundational commands like “sit,” “stay,” “leave it,” and “come”
  • Building focus and attention through positive reinforcement

4. Addressing Problem Behaviors

  • Managing biting, chewing, and jumping
  • Encouraging calm behavior during feeding, grooming, and leash walking

Our Approach to Puppy Training

At Glass City K9, we believe in a personalized approach to training. Every puppy is unique, and our trainers take the time to understand your pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs. Our training methods are:

  • Positive and Reward-Based: We use praise, treats, and play to reinforce good behavior.
  • Owner-Focused: Training sessions include guidance, so you feel confident continuing the training at home.
  • Structured and Consistent: Our step-by-step approach ensures your puppy learns at a pace that’s right for them.
