About Our Puppy Preschool Dog Training

Puppy training during the first 20 weeks of your dog’s life is crucial for building a strong foundation of good behavior and obedience. Early training sets the stage for a well-mannered and confident adult dog, making it easier to prevent behavioral issues down the road. By starting now, you’ll ensure your new bundle of fur grows into a happy, obedient, and well-socialized companion.

Why Choose Puppy Preschool?

  • Key Skills: Your pup will learn potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and proper socialization.
  • Building a Bond: We teach you how to use food, praise, leashes, and toys to create a positive, engaging relationship with your puppy.
  • Prevention: Early obedience training helps prevent future behavioral problems, including aggression.

Shawn did a wonderful job with our 4 month old belgian malinois, tracker. Within the 3 full days if training, tracker learned so many new commands. Not only did shawn do a great job with tracker, he also took his time explaining in detail to me and my wife, how to take command and continue with the obedience training tracker learned. Thank you so much for your time and patience with us while we all learned new techniques. – Potter family
