Our Puppy Programs

Whether you're a new puppy owner or needing help with specific issues, Absolute Angel Dog Training has you covered with one of our comprehensive programs.

Unlock the potential of your puppy's critical learning stage with our specialized puppy programs.

It’s important to understand the crucial importance of puppy training during the formative months of your dog's life. Our comprehensive puppy programs focus on essential aspects such as socialization, potty training, and crate training, as well as address specific behavioral challenges like leash pulling, jumping, and fear towards people and other dogs. Don't wait for frustrations to arise; enroll in our puppy programs today to ensure your adorable companion starts off on the path to success.

Puppy Essentials Program

Perfect for the first-time puppy owner or when you need guidance on an issue.

Did you know the most critical learning stage for puppies is from birth to approximately 16 weeks?! Waiting to begin training allows undesirable behaviors to take hold, and missed early socialization can lead to shyness or fearfulness when facing new people, environments, and experiences. With our in-home lessons, you can start training immediately without having to wait until your puppy is fully vaccinated.

This program is good for owners looking to concentrate on just the crucial skills, such as potty training, crate training, and proper socialization. We also include “around the house” manners, such as preventing your puppy from bolting out an open door and getting hit by a car and teaching your puppy to not jump on people, saving you from future embarrassment when your dog is bigger.

Little Devil Program

Prevent leash pulling, biting, jumping, and many other behaviors BEFORE they start.

Do you want a more inclusive program that guarantees your puppy starts off on the right path while lessening common frustrations that owners encounter? Our Little Devil program is tailor-made to equip your pup with foundational and advanced skills that will mold them into a well-behaved and confident dog.

Imagine starting off with a puppy that walks calmly by your side-no dragging you down the street as they grow bigger and stronger! Ensure your puppy’s safety by teaching them to come when called, preventing potential injuries or hazards should they get loose.

This program is great for owners wanting to go beyond just the crucial skills mentioned in the Puppy Essentials Program.

Accelerated Puppy Program

The ULTIMATE jumpstart to a well-behaved dog.

The timing of rewards and consistency are two of the more important aspects of puppy training. Otherwise, you could be rewarding undesired behavior and confusing your pup. Also, if you don’t do enough training, take a “one-size-fits all” approach, or become impatient with your puppy, you may not get the results you’re hoping for.

Avoid these common mistakes and let me do all the hard work for you! This program is designed to give you the same results as the Little Devil Program, only quicker and better! You’ll receive a one and a half (1.5) hour private lesson twice a week for three (3) weeks in which I train your puppy.

Because puppies learn best with multiple “mini sessions”, you also receive in-depth coaching on training fundamentals, ensuring you are armed with the best techniques and guidance to continue training in confidence.

But we don’t stop there! Once your puppy is fully vaccinated, Absolute Angel Dog Training will assist you on two (2) field trips to places such as your veterinarian, groomer, pet stores, bike trails, or other dog-friendly establishments.
