LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURES TOGETHER
Your Tomorrow Starts Today
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO START EARLY
Starting early ensures that your puppy develops the confidence and social skills they need to handle new environments, situations, people, and other animals with ease.
By teaching them positive habits and appropriate behaviors now, you’re investing in a future filled with joy, trust, and adventures together.
How We Do Things Differently
Introducing Our “Lifestyle Training” Approach
At Family Pupz, we believe puppy training is about so much more than teaching puppy obedience or correcting behaviors—it’s about creating a life where you and your puppy can truly thrive together.
That’s why we don’t just see ourselves as trainers; we see ourselves as lifestyle creators.
Our goal is to help you build a life with your puppy that’s filled with harmony, connection, and ease, where the everyday challenges of dog parenting melt away and are replaced by the joys of companionship.
Instead of focusing solely on isolated skills like “sit” or “stay,” we take a holistic approach that addresses the bigger picture: what kind of life do you want to live with your puppy?
Whatever your vision is, we tailor our training to make that lifestyle a reality!
PUPPY TRAINING FOR YOUR UNIQUE LIFESTYLE
A Peaceful Home
A Peaceful Home is one where your puppy thrives in a peaceful, well-managed environment. We’ll teach your puppy essential skills like potty training, crate training, settling, and coming when called, while addressing and managing common challenges like jumping, biting, inappropriate chewing, and behavioral issues such as fear and anxiety. By teaching appropriate behaviors, fostering positive interactions, and creating daily routines, we’ll help you create a calmer home for the entire family.
Harmonious Walks in the Neighborhood
Harmonious Walks in the Neighborhood mean your outings with your puppy are easy and stress-free, no matter the distractions. We’ll teach your puppy leash manners, polite behavior around other dogs, people, and wildlife, and how to keep your puppy focused on you despite common neighborhood distractions like skateboards, bikes, scooters, traffic and tempting (but inappropriate) scraps of food/trash. With these skills, every walk will be a more enjoyable and peaceful experience for the both of you.
A Welcoming Host
A Welcoming Host means your puppy is a delightful presence during dinner parties and gatherings at home. We’ll teach your puppy how to settle in a designated spot, greet visitors politely, and practice impulse control—ensuring polite behavior around food, visitors, and exciting situations. With these skills, your puppy will contribute to a warm and enjoyable atmosphere for all.
Relaxed Public Outings
Relaxed Public Outings mean you can confidently bring your puppy to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants and local parks without worry. We’ll teach settling calmly in public, ignoring distractions, polite greetings, leash manners and coming when called, even with distractions. With these skills, you and your puppy can enjoy outings together, making the most of every shared experience.
Nimble Urban Adventures
Nimble Urban Adventures means moving through the city with your puppy effortlessly, whether you’re strolling through a bustling farmer’s market, riding the elevator in your apartment building, or weaving through crowded sidewalks. We’ll teach leash manners, polite behavior in shared spaces, and how to keep your puppy focused on you despite common urban distractions. With these skills, navigating distracting urban environments will be a smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable experience for the both of you.
Stress-Free Time Apart
Stress-Free Time Apart allows you to confidently step away, whether for work or a fun night out, knowing your puppy is happy and well-behaved at home. We’ll teach crate training, independent settling, and healthy alone-time routines to reduce separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, and excessive barking. With these skills, you can enjoy time away while your puppy feels secure, your neighbors stay happy, and your home remains peaceful.
The Polite Visitor
The Polite Visitor means that your puppy is a welcome guest in any home. We’ll teach calm greetings, respecting boundaries, settling on cue, and avoiding jumping or begging. With these behaviors, your puppy will be a well-mannered visitor, making every gathering a joy for everyone.
Calm and Confident Vet Visits
Calm and Confident Vet Visits make checkups easier for both you and your puppy. We’ll teach essential skills like handling desensitization, muzzle training for stress-free safety, and staying relaxed in new environments. With these strategies, your puppy will feel more at ease during exams, ensuring stress-free visits that prioritize their comfort, well-being, and health.
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
At Family Pupz, we believe puppy training is so much more than teaching tricks or commands—it’s about empowering puppy parents to live the joyful, stress-free, and adventurous life they’ve always envisioned with their puppy.
Our training is rooted in a positive, force-free, and science-based approach, as the latest research in animal behavior consistently shows that puppies learn best—and that learning lasts longer—when they’re in a learning environment free from fear, stress, and pain.
This foundation is supported by our proactive approach to training, which helps puppy parents anticipate and prevent issues before they arise. By combining proactive strategies like redirection, management, and collaborative problem-solving, we provide you with a comprehensive toolkit to confidently navigate any and all situations that you may encounter with your puppy—even when we’re not there to assist.
At the heart of our approach is what we call, “lifestyle-based training”. It’s not just about curbing excessive barking or leash pulling, but why you want to manage those behaviors in the first place—to enjoy a romantic date night out without worry, host a peaceful dinner party with friends and your puppy, or to take your puppy on meaningful adventures without stress or anxiety.
That’s why we focus on offering you practical solutions to enable you to live the seamless, rewarding, and deeply enriching life with your puppy that you always imagined.
