Crate Training

Making the crate your puppy's Happy Place

Crate Training is an essential aid in raising your puppy.  Having a puppy that will sleep through the night in a crate allows you to have a restful night sleep and keeps your puppy safe.  Crate training helps to facilitate potty training by encouraging their natural instinct not to mess where they sleep.   Having a puppy that is happy to go into their crate when you leave home keeps your puppy and your belongings safe while you are away. Crate training teaches your puppy how to enjoy time alone and encourages a relaxed behavior.  They learn to appreciate their down time in their crate.

Leash Work

Preparing for an evening stroll with you

Leash walking is a very stimulating experience for puppies.  They have to get used to their new harness, then we add in the leash.  They get to explore their environment and all the new sights, sounds and smells within it.  We make walking a positive experience that they love and look forward to.  When they arrive at their forever home they are ready to enjoy walks with you and show you their good manners.

Basic Commands

Preparing to be a kind companion.

Puppies are eager to learn and aim to please.  We teach them to respond to their name. We reward them for focusing on us and then build on that to respond to commands. They will work on "Sit", "Down", "Off", "Leave It", "Touch", "Place", "Wait" and more. This process builds confidence, makes them an eager learner and prepares your puppy face the world.

Potty Training

Consistency is key

Potty Training is a challenge that all new puppy owners face.  Prep Your Pup Training Academy uses Consistency, positive reinforcement, Consistency, schedule, Consistency, environment, oh and a lot of Consistency to build a solid foundation for potty training.  Have you noticed a trend?  When your puppy comes home after training you will be given the tools you need to help your puppy go potty Consistently where you want them to go.

Safe Socialization

New Experiences Build Confidence

Puppy "socialization is the process of preparing a dog to enjoy interactions and be comfortable with other animals, people, places and activities." - American Veterinary Medical Association. At Prep Your Pup Training Academy, we safely introduce our puppies to household noises, multiple types of flooring, different people, the trainers' adult dogs and other animals, as well as other puppies that they are in training with.
We expose puppies to public places and experiences in an age appropriate and safe manner.
While at Prep Your Pup Training, your puppy will be exposed to steps, door bells, vacuum, most likely thunder, car rides, and endless other real life obstacles. This exposure at an early age, along with positive reinforcement, reduces any fear from manifesting.

Community Integration

The exploration of the world around them.

If your puppy is staying at training long enough to be protected by their vaccines, they will be safely introduced to community settings.  We take them for walks in the suburbs and build up to more urban settings. We go to stores that allow dogs and walk through parks. Experiencing things outside of their comfort zone, but in a safe way, builds confidence as they mature.
