Puppy 101
Raising the Right Puppy From the Start
Puppy 101
Bringing home a new puppy can feel exciting, overwhelming, and sometimes downright exhausting — but the habits you build in the beginning shape the dog you’ll live with for years to come.
Our Puppy 101 Class is a classroom-style educational course designed for new puppy owners and families preparing to bring home a puppy. This course gives you a clear roadmap for raising a respectful, confident, and well-rounded dog while helping you avoid the common mistakes that often lead to behavior problems later.
Rather than waiting for problems to develop, we focus on prevention, structure, and communication from day one.
In This Class, You’ll Learn:
- Proper house training & crate training strategies
- How to prevent separation anxiety & over-attachment
- Healthy socialization (without overwhelming your puppy)
- Preventing biting, jumping, and bad habits early
- Marker training & clear communication systems
- Building focus, confidence, and calm behavior
- Proper play, enrichment, and puppy development
- The critical stages of puppy development and what to focus on at each age
- How to set healthy boundaries while building trust and engagement
This is an interactive classroom environment where you can ask questions, gain clarity, and walk away with a structured plan you can immediately apply at home.
Whether you already have a puppy or are planning ahead, Puppy 101 helps you start off on the right foot — before little problems become big ones.
Give your puppy the best start possible — and gain the confidence to raise them the right way from the beginning.

"I adopted my beautiful Sparrow 6 months ago. She was very leash-aggressive and reactive to other dogs. Thanks to Belynda’s guidance, she has made an incredible transformation. I now have a calm, balanced dog I can enjoy in public."

"Belynda is amazing! My husband and I have attended multiple obedience classes in the past and this has been BY FAR the most beneficial. The different techniques she uses have been a game changer!"
