Puppy Training
“He’s so tiny and cute – I love it when he jumps on me!”
What’s cute at 3 months of age is not so cute at 6 months of age, it’s frustrating at 9 months of age, and by 12 months of age, it’s a major issue.... Puppy training while they’re young can make a world of difference in your dog’s quality of life!
​
Blue Ridge Dog Training provides a special puppy training program designed to teach puppies the skills they need to grow into well-mannered dogs! Puppies in the 8 - 16 week age range are still in their critical socialization period, and can be easily guided towards good behaviors. After 16 weeks of age, a puppy's behavior begins to shift toward that of an adolescent dog.
From first-time dog owners to seasoned puppy raisers, everyone could use tips on how to train a puppy. We teach you, the dog’s family, how to communicate with your dog from the time they are a puppy, and as they grow into a dog.
Our Puppy Training Program includes:
-
Housebreaking
-
Relaxing in the house
-
Excessive behaviors like chewing and digging
-
Greeting visitors
-
Your puppy's exercise needs
-
Walking on a leash
-

Our puppy program begins at 7 weeks of age, and consists of 2 extended, 2-hour lessons in your home. Our program also includes a custom written training manual, as well as unlimited remote support (phone, email & text) during the training period.
