in a puppy\u2019s life are the most important for training! That\u2019s why we have specific programs designed with puppies in mind. Most of a dog&#8217;s mental development happens in those first 20 weeks. Of those 20 weeks, weeks 8 through 16 are what is known as the &#8220;sensitive period,&#8221; because of how much impact you can make during that time. You want to make sure the influence you have is positive.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial that good training and positive behaviors become a central part of your dog&#8217;s development. If we start these processes early, they&#8217;ll become habitual &#8211; a part of the dog&#8217;s personality, even. That makes training sessions a lot easier to manage.<\/p>\n<p>By teaching them the proper way to behave from the start, it can prevent disobedient behaviors in the future. We help with main issues such as potty training, crate training, leash introduction (to pave the way for loose leash walking), and chewing &amp; biting issues.<\/p>\n<p>What sets our training apart? It&#8217;s simple, This program utilizes the knowledge and experience of an expert dog trainer who loves your dog and who wants to see them succeed. Beginning with a trainer who cares is the best way to find success. A lot of pet parents notice a positive difference the same day of their first class!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Should You Start Puppy Training?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are several answers to this question. The most common are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You want to ensure your pup is on the right path to becoming a well-behaved dog.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re already seeing troubling signs of disobedience in the first 20 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a great way to set a foundation for future <a href=\"https:\/\/sitmeanssit.com\/dog-training-mu\/atlanta-dog-training\/\">training<\/a> programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these are great reasons! We could go, listing, in detail, the scientific, relational, physical, and mental benefits of group classes for puppies, but that would be a very long list.<\/p>\n<p>In short, there&#8217;s no reason <em>not<\/em> to get your pup started off on the right paw. Puppy training classes can revolutionize a dog&#8217;s future. We know that the goal of every new dog owner is to integrate their pup as a member of the family. Dog training classes from a young age are the best, happiest way to get this goal accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a way to build trust with your newest fur baby, this is it. The individualized attention from owners impacts puppies greatly. They&#8217;re already looking for an outlet for all that love they keep stored up in their little hearts.
