Building Lifelong Skills
Puppy training in Houston to help you start out right with your new puppy. Our puppy training in Houston is the best program available for puppies under 6 months old. Amaze family and friends with your professionally trained puppy!
How old should my puppy be to start training? This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is—it’s never too early! Training begins the moment your puppy is born. A responsible breeder will start setting routines, potty habits, and crate training from day one.
But a puppy can’t learn to sit and heel right? Wrong! Our trainers start puppy obedience training with their own puppies at 8 weeks of age and everything is done off leash!
Your puppy can begin training with us as soon as they have their second round of vaccinations, which is usually between 9 and 12 weeks of age,

Explore Our State-of-the-Art Facility
Our facility is designed with your dog’s comfort, safety, and development in mind. Featuring spacious training areas, play zones, and cozy resting spaces, we provide an environment where your dog can learn, play, and relax. Our facility is equipped to handle diverse training activities, ensuring a balanced mix of fun and education for your furry friend.
Our first category of puppy training is house manners. We want to ensure our puppies are calm and sweet inside our homes without being mischievous or naughty! House manners includes teaching our puppies to be calm inside the house. It includes teaching them not to run inside the house or play roughly. House manners also includes teaching our dogs not to bolt out doors, jump on people, bark excessively, steal food from tables or get in the trash, chew up household belongings, nibble chew or bite our fingers and toes, or even jump on the furniture! We also want to make sure our dogs understand to go potty outside not on our favorite rug.
Our second category of puppy training is obedience. We start important foundation training skills to help mold your puppy into your dream dog. The commands we go over in addition to the behaviors listed above are as follows:
- Leash Walking – We are going to start teaching your puppy not to pull on their leash, and to be attentive to YOU around distractions out in public spaces.
- Name Recognition – Your puppy will learn that they should look at you when they hear their name, and we will begin teaching them to come when we call them!
- Sit/Stay and Down/Stay – Our expectation for a sit/stay or down/stay is for us to give the command once and the puppy follows our instructions. Instead of training a traditional stay command we teach whats called a release marker. So if we asked our dogs to lay down regardless if there is other dogs running around or people our dog is expected to dog what we asked until we give the release marker.
- Climb Command – Our climb command is great way to give our dogs a simple job to do during the day, as well as a phenomenal way to give our dogs a safe place to be when we are cooking, or have guests coming over.
- Quiet – Our quiet command indicates to our dogs when its time to stop barking or whining.
- Leave it/Drop it – A great command to use when our puppies are putting things in their mouth like sticks or rocks and shouldn’t be!
- Wait – Wait is a command we use to teach our dogs to not bolt out doors, or jump out of the car, dash out of their kennel. It tells them to wait a moment until we indicate we are ready for the dog to come along.
- We teach all of our dogs including puppies yes, no, and release markers.

Our third category of puppy training is socialization. For socialization we teach our puppies to be friendly with other dogs but also understand proper play behavior. This means teaching our puppies if another dog asks them to leave them alone or doesn’t want to engage in play, the puppy should learn to pick up on these cues and leave the older dog alone. We also socialize our puppies with a variety of surfaces and environmental stimulus, such as pools, slick tile, inflatable objects, bicycles and more. We also socialize with a variety of different animals such as horses, deer, goats, cats or squirrels!
Our fourth category of puppy training is confidence building. We focus on building our young puppies confidence when it comes to sudden loud noises. Noises such as such as fireworks, gun shots, or even a house hold pan suddenly clattering on the floor. Confidence building is about teaching our dogs how to problem solve rather then be full of fear or anxiety. Something simple such as a pool filled with empty water bottles can be a daunting task for a young puppy, building their confidence and teaching them how to work through that fear will help them be more well-rounded as they continue to grow.
Our fifth category of puppy training is handling manners. We want our puppies to enjoy grooming time with their owners rather then a difficult and struggled task. Puppies learn to be relaxed when in our arms, rather then struggling and wiggling to get away. We teach our puppies to remain calm while having their nails clipped and ears cleaned. We do small tooth and eye checks and show our puppies how to remain calm while going through this exam. Last but not least during bath time we show our puppies how to stand still while being bathed. This means no clawing out of the tub or shaking water and drenching us! We simply give the command ’shake it off’ at the end of the bath letting the dog know when it’s ok.
