No chaos. No confusion. Just clear, doable lessons that turn you into the calm, consistent trainer your puppy needs.

Every lesson is a chance to build trust, boost your confidence, and deepen your bond — one tail wag at a time.

“Since taking Dre's course, our puppy responds to me so much easier now! I love that he seems to trust me and responds so much faster when teaching him new things.”

Jamie & Cove

“The puppy stage is a challenge, but now it feels so doable and we are really enjoying our sweet Roxy, thanks to your lessons. This has made all the difference!”

Jenny & Roxy

“Dre is amazing at what she does! We struggled with our puppy's biting, but his biting has improved a lot since taking the course. We also learned to master basic skills, such as sit, stay, leave it and drop it.”

Keily & Stormy

Why Early Training Matters

Puppy brains develop quickly and we want to catch this learning window

The first few weeks are more important than you realize.

Think your puppy isn’t learning yet? Think again. Every chew, bark, and bounce is building habits. You can train early — or let chaos do the teaching.

During those first 6 months, every experience shapes your puppy’s world. 

These first four weeks are about building trust, understanding, and a rock-solid foundation that will shape your relationship for the next 12+ years together.

🧠 It’s easier to build good habits than undo bad ones.

Waiting to train often means months of jumping, barking, nipping, or potty accidents — and those habits get harder to break the longer they’re allowed to stick.

🧠 Young puppy brains are like sponges.

They’re curious, adaptable, and learning from every experience — whether you’re actively training them or not.

🧠 Early bonding sets the tone for your relationship.

The connection you build now shapes how your puppy listens, learns, follows, and trusts you for life.

🧠 Confidence starts on day one — for both of you.

When you have a plan, your puppy picks up on that clarity. You’ll lead with calm consistency, and your puppy will thrive under it.

Waiting to “see how it goes” can lead to frustration, accidents, and missed windows for socialization. But when you start strong with a step-by-step plan, everything gets easier.


“The best time to train your puppy is now. The second-best time? Before another bad habit forms.”
