Congratulations!

 As frustrating as your puppy’s behavior is, you have a typical puppy!  All of these behaviors are developmentally normal, but that doesn’t mean we ignore them!  To have a well adjusted dog, we need to be sure to communicate clearly and consistently with your puppy so they know what the boundaries are and what to expect.

Where would you like to do your training?

I would like to come to the training center in Rudy.
I will pay a little more for the trainer to come to my home.
I enjoy the convenience of online, and would like to meet with the trainer remotely.
I'm am really busy, or I just don't feel like I can or want to do the work myself. Money isn't an issue, so I would like the trainer to do all the heavy lifting for me.

We're so sorry to hear that your puppy is struggling. We can help!

It’s hard when we see our puppy struggling with so many things.  The decision you need to make is:  Is one of these things more important than the others?  Was one of them the reason you reached out?  Or are you unsure of what to tackle first?

I need to deal with my puppy showing fear and aggression when he's around new things. This is most important to me.
My puppy is guarding things, and it's a real problem. I want to address this first.
Being able to take a leisurely walk with my puppy is most important to me.
I don't know where to start. Let's schedule a phone call to decide.
