Puppy manners

Puppy Manners Package: 4-8-12 Weeks

Welcome to the Puppy Manners Package, specially designed for puppies aged 4 to 12 weeks. This program focuses on essential training and socialization skills that will help your puppy grow into a well-mannered and confident adult dog. During these crucial early weeks, your puppy is like a sponge, soaking up new experiences and learning how to interact with the world around them.

Why Start Training Early?

training at a young age is vital. Puppies are most receptive to learning between 4 and 12 weeks. This is the perfect time to introduce them to basic commands, socialization with other dogs and people, and proper behavior in various situations. Early training helps prevent behavioral issues later in life, making it easier for your puppy to adapt to their new home.

What’s Included in the Package?

  • Basic Commands: Teach your puppy essential commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. These commands lay the foundation for good behavior.
  • Socialization: Expose your puppy to different environments, sounds, and people to build their confidence and reduce fearfulness.
  • Leash Training: Introduce your puppy to walking on a leash, which is crucial for safe outings.
  • House Training: Learn effective techniques for potty training to establish good habits early on.
  • Fun Activities: Engage in games and exercises that stimulate your puppy mentally and physically, promoting a healthy and happy pup.
