Positive Puppy Training

School for Family Dogs

Education should start early and prevent behavior problems before they start! Our gentle methods are fun and effective.

A fun opportunity for your puppy to make new friends and learn important skills, obedience cues and manners!

Learn how to train and properly socialize your puppy with our private lessons. Summerville, SC and surrounding areas.

We follow guidelines set by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. Their position statements can be read at dacvb.org
Compassionate, Patient, Positive, Confidence Building, Fear Free
Least Invasive Minimally Aversive protocol. Reduces/eliminates or prevents aggression and anxiety.
No electronic collars or chain/choke collars.
Reward based. Food treats, toys, access to playtime, etc may be used for positive reinforcement. (Don't worry, we fade out treats as your puppy progresses and matures.)
Game based. Training should be fun!
Boundaries. Clear, consistent rules and boundaries to prevent confusion and mistakes. Set them up for success!
Proper exercise and mental enrichment can prevent many behavioral challenges.
We believe training starts the moment you bring your puppy home because they are always learning. Ideally, the breeder or rescue starts some potty training, handling, and maybe more before you bring your puppy home.
