Puppy Headstart Program

Bringing a new puppy home is a fun, exciting, challenging, frustrating, exhausting, and exhilarating time. With conflicting advice from dog training books, the Internet, and other dog owners, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure when making important decisions on how to raise your new family member.

Let Time and Patience Dog Training help with our Puppy Headstart program. A certified trainer will visit your home for a 90-minute information and training session, to get you started off on the right foot (or paw).

The Puppy Headstart program will cover:

• The RITE Way to train your dog
• Why “no” is an ineffective word for your puppy
• How dogs think (and why they do what they do)
• Tips to help your puppy become a safe, well-behaved family member

The Puppy Headstart program is a private, in-home 90-minute session that includes written handouts, and costs $175 plus HST.
