About Our Puppy Training Dog Training

During the first few months of your puppy’s life, training is crucial as it has the most significant impact on setting a positive foundation of obedience for the rest of their furry lives. To help you shape your pup into a well-mannered dog, we offer Puppy Training for the first 20 weeks of your canine’s life.

We understand that when you bring a puppy into your home, there can be an adjustment period full of lots of love but also some frustrations. Our professional trainers at SMS can help with this by teaching your pup the proper way to behave early on, preventing these issues from accelerating even further in the future. Obedience and positive habits learned at the beginning of your furry friend’s life will help you avoid an anxious or aggressive dog later in life.

Why You Need Puppy Training:

  • No two puppies are alike, so we offer personalized training programs tailored to your puppy’s temperament and training goals
  • Our trainers are highly skilled and experienced in working with puppies of all breeds and ages, providing expert guidance and support every step of the way
  • Our training methods focus on rewarding desired behaviors with praise, treats, and affection, creating a fun and engaging learning experience for your furry friend.
  • To ensure your puppy is quickly potty trained, we cover basic housebreaking early on

We’re dedicated to providing top-notch puppy training that goes beyond basic obedience and unlocks the full potential of your canine companion! Start your puppy off on the right paw by scheduling your FREE consultation today!

I want to say thank you Trent and all of the staff! My dog had trouble socializing again and with walking on a leash. He would lunge towards other dogs and bark uncontrollably. I felt so helpless trying to get his attention again and stop him from barking. He is now walking by my side, friendly with other dogs and people.
