Puppy Training Classes

“Our last puppy was so much easier to train, we are at a loss with this one!”

Raising three young boys between 9-14, they thought getting a puppy would be good idea. After just three weeks, they were at the end of the rope. The puppy was chasing the kids around nipping, making the youngest cry. The youngest was becoming afraid of him. 

Potty training meant finding all the places the puppy went after the fact. It might have been only once or twice a day, but it seemed like someone was ALWAYS stepping in dog poop.  In fact, Dad even shouted once that if he stepped in one more pile he was going to send the dog away!

And chewing?  Boy could that dog chew.  He was small, but he could get the laces torn out of shoes in a heartbeat.  He even pulled up the edges of the carpet.  The family estimated that he’d done $1500 in damage in the three weeks they had him! They tried kennel training, but he barked and howled all day. The neighbors complained about the nuisance barking, and it wasn't any better when they were home. He barked all night and no one got any sleep.

It all just seemed to be too much! So they called us.  They got into a group class and learned how to manage these behaviors.

Online Puppy Class

With the current staffing crisis our nation is facing, we’ve developed an online puppy class. This class will cover all the same criteria as in person puppy class, with the benefit of taking the class at your convenience!

Each week, videos with lecture, as well as written criteria, will be posted for your review. After watching the videos, and working on the criteria, we encourage you to submit questions and videos of you working your puppy for critique.

Do you want a well behaved adult dog? Puppy training is a great place to start. Register for the next group class near you.

Puppy Day Camp

“My puppy is making so much progress in puppy class, he just needs a little more than I’m able to give him each week.”

They were enrolled in our puppy program, learning so much each week, and diligent with applying all the things they learned. But working busy schedules, and juggling kids in the evening, sometimes it seemed like there just wasn't enough hours in the day. Although they were making progress, they wanted just a little more. Something for their puppy to do during the day that was more than just playing, but getting proper social interaction, as well as mental stimulation. So they decided to send him to puppy day camp a couple times each week.

Puppy Day Camp is a program available to puppy students currently enrolled in our puppy classes. For more information, please contact us now.

Puppy Bootcamp

Now booking on a very limited basis!

Some puppies are just too much! Whether you need a jump start on puppy training, need more help during this younger stage due to your busy schedule, or you would like some training paired with an upcoming vacation, puppy bootcamp might be the best option for you.

This program is open to puppies under 10-20 weeks of age. Puppies will live with a trainer in their home for the duration of their stay, but will accompany them on trips in public and to our training facility. On average, puppy bootcamps are 3-4 weeks in length, and do not include behavior modification (ex: aggression).

Training will include puppy basics such as potty training, play biting, and learning new behaviors. Your puppy will experience age appropriate socialization, leash walking foundation, and positive environmental exposure.

For more information regarding length of time recommended and availability, please contact us on our mainline at 248-733-3776 or send an email to admin@einsteindogtraining.com. We look forward to working with your babies!
