Give Your Puppy the Best Start—Before Bad Habits Begin
Training your puppy the right way goes beyond just teaching them to sit, lie down, or stay. It’s about shaping their brain, building their confidence, and behavioral issues before they even start.
At Command Canine, we specialize in Behavior Modification—we see firsthand the heartbreaking cases of adult dogs struggling with fear, reactivity, and anxiety. More often than not, these issues could have been prevented with the right approach to puppy training.
Did you know...
Your puppy’s brain is like soft clay—it’s constantly being shaped by their experiences, for better or for worse.
A solid puppy training program isn’t just about following commands; it’s about teaching them:
✅ How to feel safe and secure in new environments
✅ How to navigate social situations with people and other dogs
✅ How to bounce back from stress or uncertainty
✅ How to handle frustration without reacting
✅ How to trust and listen to you no matter the situation
Many dog owners come to us after their dog has developed serious behavioral issues. They tell us:
"I wish I had done this when they were a puppy."
The truth is, waiting until your dog is older to start addressing behavior can make things much harder (and more expensive). While we specialize in helping dogs with behavior challenges, our favorite cases are the ones where we get to help puppies from the start—because it means we can set them up for success, rather than fixing problems later.

Puppy Packages
Unlock your puppy's full potential with our training and development packages!
Puppies (just like children) go through a lot of different life phases as they grow up. As a new puppy owner, you're going to be dealing with an infant, a toddler, a pre-teen, AND a teenager - all in a few short months. The way your puppy acts, listens, (doesn't listen! ), and learns will all change through their first year life phases.
We want to make things as easy for you as possible! We've set up Year-Long Puppy packages to help you navigate the first year of your puppy's life.

Puppy Protégé
Tailored to provide you with all of the essentials needed in your puppy's first few months, but unlike the Puppy Primary, this program emphasizes expert supervision throughout training. Your puppy will benefit from facilitating proper dog-to-dog socialization and refining play behaviors.
When your puppy is 6 months old, they will spend 2 weeks in the warm and comfortable home of your Professional Trainer. This is a much more conducive (and safer!) environment for learning versus a kennel training facility. Once reunited with you, they will eagerly demonstrate their new skills.
