Start Them Right

Puppy Training

The first months of your puppy's life shape who they become. Our dog trainer builds the foundation that prevents problems before they start — so you never need a "fix" later.

What We Cover

Puppy training isn't just about "sit" and "stay." It's about building confidence, socialization, and good habits that last a lifetime.

Socialization

Structured exposure to people, dogs, environments, and sounds during the critical socialization window. This prevents fear and reactivity later.

Basic Obedience

Sit, down, stay, come, and leash manners — taught in a way that's age-appropriate and builds your puppy's confidence.

Potty Training Guidance

A clear, structured potty training plan that works with your schedule and your puppy's biology. No more guessing.

Bite Inhibition

Teaching your puppy to control their mouth pressure. This is one of the most important skills for preventing problems as they grow.

Crate Training

Making the crate a positive, safe space — not a punishment. Proper crate training prevents separation anxiety and destructive behavior.

Leash Manners

Starting leash skills early before bad habits form. Your puppy learns to walk with you — not pull you down the street.

Who Puppy Training Is For

Whether you just brought your puppy home or they're a few months in and things are getting chaotic — we can help.

New puppy owners who want to start on the right foot
Puppies 8 weeks to 6 months old (the critical window)
Adolescent puppies (6-12 months) that are testing boundaries
Owners struggling with biting, jumping, or potty accidents
First-time dog owners who want professional guidance
Families with children who need a well-mannered puppy

Program Options

01

Private Puppy Sessions (Local)

Work directly with Sean in 4 or 8 lesson packages. You'll learn alongside your puppy — building skills and confidence together. Available in the Greenville, SC area.

02

Puppy Board & Train (Nationwide)

For owners who want a head start without the daily time commitment. Your puppy lives with Sean for 4 weeks and comes home with a solid obedience foundation and socialization experience.

03

Virtual Puppy Coaching

Can't come in person? Virtual sessions are great for potty training guidance, behavior questions, and basic obedience coaching. Available nationwide.

Pro tip: The earlier you start, the easier it is. Puppies between 8-16 weeks are in their critical socialization window — this is when they're most receptive to new experiences. Don't wait until problems develop.

Frequently Asked Questions

We can start as early as 8 weeks. In fact, the earlier the better. The critical socialization window closes around 16 weeks, so starting early gives your puppy the best foundation possible.

We accept puppies for Board & Train starting around 12-16 weeks (depending on the individual puppy). For younger puppies, private sessions or virtual coaching are ideal until they're ready for the immersive experience.

Never. Puppy training is about building confidence and positive associations. We use age-appropriate methods that set your puppy up for success without creating fear or anxiety. Our dog trainers understand puppy development.

Completely normal — but it needs to be addressed properly. Bite inhibition training teaches your puppy to control their mouth pressure. Without this training, puppy biting can become a serious problem as they grow.
