Puppy Foundation Training

The habits you build now are the dog you live with later.

Bringing home a puppy in Davis County? The first few months decide so much. Let's build the foundations right the first time, in your home and around your real routine.

Start here

The most common mistake: starting crate training too late.

If I could change one thing about how most puppy owners start, it's this: crate training usually gets introduced too late. Ideally, your puppy's crate habits are already underway before our first session ever happens. A crate done right isn't a punishment. It's your puppy's own calm place, and it makes everything that comes after easier.

The good news: it's never too late to fix. And if you're not sure where to start, that's exactly what I'm here for.

The Program

How eight sessions build a foundation

The Puppy Foundation program is eight in-home sessions for puppies 8 weeks to 6 months old. Here's the arc we follow.

Discover what drives your puppy

Every puppy values something, whether it's food, toys, praise, or play. We find your puppy's currency and natural drive, because that's what makes training click.

Build confidence first

New surfaces, new sounds, new people, new dogs. A confident puppy becomes a stable adult dog, so socialization is planned around your neighborhood instead of left to chance.

Weave discipline into daily life

Discipline built through feeding time and normal daily activities is the foundation of a great relationship. Structure isn't harsh. It's clarity.

Lock in the core skills

Sit, stay, come, leave it, leash walking, and bite inhibition, practiced where you actually live, until expectations are clear and there's mutual respect and understanding on both ends of the leash.

Simple Pricing

One session or the full program

Single puppy sessions are $115. The full 8-session Foundation Program is $599, which works out to $75 a session and covers everything above.
