PUPPY TRAINING

The amount of new puppy advice out there is overwhelming! But take it from me, an educated and certified dog trainer: What you want to be focusing on before your puppy hits 5 months is socialization, with a capital S!

The American Veterinary Society of Veterinary Behaviour recommends socializing puppies to a variety of new people, places, and things before they’ve received all of their vaccines.

If this still sounds overwhelming, don’t worry - I’m here to help start your puppy off right. I can also help you with:

  • crate training

  • alone time training

  • puppy biting and nipping

  • puppy basic training (sit, down, leave it, come)

Ready to give your puppy a great start?

New client? Start here!

All training starts with a 90-minute virtual consultation with your trainer, Amanda Factor. During this call, Amanda will assess the challenges you’re facing with your dog, identify priorities, and advise you on next steps.

Following the call, you’ll get customized notes and helpful handouts and videos. From there, you can continue training either in-person in Toronto or virtually!
