Puppy First Steps Academy

Empowering you and your puppy to grow together

Jumpstart your puppy’s growth into a confident, well-adjusted companion with our customizable program that combines in-home training, supervised socialization, and intensive coaching.

primepaw’s Puppy Preschool program includes 4 privates, 4 socials and 1 group class, in-home training sessions customized to meet your puppy where they are at developmentally. Our trainers apply their in-depth knowledge of early canine development to your and your pup’s unique history, strengths, and challenges, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind experience for you and your fur baby!

Training in your home environment keeps things extra safe and comfortable for your puppy while accelerating the development of good habits in the area where they spend the most time. And what’s more, our preschool sessions gives you the opportunity to troubleshoot challenges that are unique to the home environment. Does your dog bark at windows, chew furniture, or whine when you leave the room? We’ve got you covered for all of that and more!

Alongside your in-home sessions, your puppy will also take part in supervised puppy socials, where they’ll learn appropriate play behavior and rehearse positive interactions with other youngsters in their age range. These sessions provide a safe, controlled environment to build your puppy’s social skills and boost their confidence around other pups, as well as the guidance for guardians to know what to look out for when monitoring play.

At-home sessions commonly focus on:

Training plans to address your puppy’s unique challenges
Foundational behavior cues such as sit, down, and touch
Common age-specific challenges such as bite inhibition and alone time training
Confidence building exercises
Management solutions inside the home and beyond

Socialization sessions include:

Guided exercises to set pups up for success around other dogs
Supervised play groups in a controlled, safe environment
Information on body language and proper play provided by trainers
A combination of active and passive socialization for your puppy

With a balance of personalized, in-home training and structured socialization, Puppy Preschool is designed to give your puppy the tools they need to thrive. Enroll today to help your four-legged family member become a happy, well-adjusted canine citizen!
