Puppy Training
Puppy Training – Prevent Behavior Problems!
Did you just bring a new puppy into your home and family? Congratulations for your new bundle of furry joy! Now it’s time to start training with a professional dog trainer!
Our San Diego puppy training program will not only cover your basics, but it will go beyond that so that you can train your puppy and they will be ready to mature into a well-behaved adult down the road. Using balanced and positive reinforcement and gradual exposure, we set up your puppy for success, and introduce them to the world with the correct and positive associations in place.
The critical training period for puppies is between 7 weeks and 4 months.
Proven Dog Training Sessions for Puppies
Many dog owners will skip puppy training classes, primarily teaching potty training and maybe a command or two. We want to take puppy training to a comprehensive level where we can prevent any other bad habits or inappropriate behaviors from forming in the future. Why not nip it in the bud early, rather than wait for things to potentially escalate into more serious or uncontrollable behaviors? Teach your puppy good behaviors now!
Surf’s Up puppy training will comprise of the following:
- House breaking
- Crate training
- Basic commands
- Leash behavior
- Greeting manners
- Come when called
- Separation anxiety prevention
- Consistent scheduling
- Basic obedience
- Socialization and desensitization
- And more!
Before beginning to train a puppy, we will have an in-home consultation before our first lesson, to ensure that we address ALL your dog’s needs and potential issues. Our private program is in-home training as it will benefit your puppy to learn all the right behaviors in your home first. Gradually, we’ll insert more distractions to ensure that your puppy can learn how to behave even in more fast-paced or chaotic environments.

Because of their young age and early development, we will not rush your puppy into anything they are not prepared for at the moment, as we want to avoid setting your puppy up for failure. However, we will guide you and your puppy, and give you as the owner the essential tools to remain consistent and continue making training a positive association for your puppy.
