Are you feeling a little bit overwhelmed by your new puppy?
Tired of being bitten by their razor-sharp little teeth or finding new bite marks in your furniture? Do they require constant entertainment or they find something to destroy?
Are you embarrassed by taking your carnivorous roomba for a walk? Lost at how to convince them to stop biting the leash? Or do they plant all four legs and refuse to keep walking?
Mystified by how to get your life back when your puppy will barely let you shower without them?
Whether this is your first puppy ever or it’s been a while since your last puppy, every puppy has their own unique challenges. Raising a baby of any species is a lot of work!
I can help you go from hiding from your little landshark to enjoying your time together even when they’re awake.
If you are encountering behaviours that you dislike or you just want to set your puppy up for a happy adulthood, I am happy to help. We will create a plan based on your priorities and then work on it together as your puppy continues to grow.
Routine & Management
Does your puppy seem mildly possessed in the evening, like some kind of “Witching Hour”? Is your puppy still having potty accidents? Does it feel like you can never tire them out?
A lot of puppy problems can be solved by routines and clever use of the environment.
Teaching puppy classes full-time during the pandemic has taught me many tricks that I am happy to pass along.
Baby Steps
Does your puppy experience FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) when you try to contain them? Is leash walking them like walking a carnivorous roomba?
Puppies have short attention spans and many things are brand new for them! They need short, slow practice in order to get used to new things, routines, and experiences.
I can help you set age appropriate training goals and give you activities that will help build the core skills to get you there.
Socialization
Is your puppy overwhelmed by living in the big city? Not sure how to introduce them to everything their life will include as an adult?
Everything is new for your baby puppy and they need gradual, structured, positive exposure to the world around them.
I can help you understand how to socialize your puppy effectively and increase the chances that they will have a positive experience, which will support their confidence as they grow.
It starts with a 60 min Consultation for 125$ CAD. We will discuss your puppy and your main concerns, which will help me plan for our lessons. You will receive a summary of what we discussed and training plans to start addressing your concerns.
We can then continue to work on your puppy’s behaviour with lessons (60 min, 125$ CAD). Ideal lesson spacing is every 2 weeks.
