Expert Puppy
Trainers
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it also comes with challenges like chewing and accidents. The most common mistake new owners make is underestimating the knowledge, commitment, and effort needed to train a new puppy.
Once a puppy begins to grow, its energy can quickly feel unmanageable. It’s all too common that a well-meaning and loving family takes on a puppy lacking the knowledge and skills to train correctly. This often results in overwhelmed owners rehoming or taking these puppies to local shelters, feeling the puppy’s disposition is bad or simply that they are not cut out to be dog owners.
At Lasting Dog Training, we focus on building that bond through effective training to foster trust and communication. Our experienced puppy trainers use proven methods to help you and your puppy succeed together.

The Importance of Puppy
Training
- Almost everything a puppy encounters will be brand new, which can be both exciting and overwhelming. However, puppies may not know how to respond positively and safely to new experiences without proper training. That’s why Lasting Dog Training believes in starting puppy training as soon as possible so you and your pup can bond and begin your adventures on the right foot!

- Training the Lasting Dog Training way provides puppies and owners with a nurturing environment where they can learn to communicate and trust each other. Puppies have an innate desire to please, making training both fun and rewarding! Of course, it can be daunting to try and figure out how to teach puppies concepts like potty training or commands like sit and stay on your own. That's where puppy training comes in.
- Keeping a puppy safe should be the number one priority for new dog owners. By working with experienced puppy trainers, new puppy owners can learn how to teach their pups both basic and complex obedience skills effectively. Training a puppy to be comfortable home alone, walk on a leash, wait at the door, and avoid consuming non-edible objects will help keep them safe when you're not around.

Start Puppy Training
Early
- First-time dog owners are often unsure of when to begin training their dogs. For the best results, it’s essential to start training your puppy as soon as possible. You can begin socialization and basic commands as soon as you bring your new puppy home. Puppies are especially receptive to new experiences and people, and they learn quickly while they are young—making this an ideal time to start. Begin with simple commands like "down," "come," and "stay." If you’re looking for guidance, Lasting Dog Training offers puppy obedience classes designed to set the foundation for a well-behaved and confident dog.
The Lasting Dog Training
Approach
We’ve developed a highly effective and unique positive puppy training program that empowers dog owners to take the lead—so their dog learns to listen and respond in any situation or environment. Our personalized training addresses specific behaviors and issues, with customized training schedules designed to give you the support and confidence you need as a dog owner.

Involvement is Key!
- Many dog training programs limit owner and family involvement, but at Lasting Dog Training, we believe it’s essential. We strongly encourage owners and families to participate throughout the training process. Why? Because it ensures everyone understands the expectations, supports continued learning, and helps maintain the progress your dog makes. That way, your puppy won’t come home and forget everything they’ve learned.
- Our puppy training program is divided into two phases: early training and advanced training. Puppies as young as eight weeks can start learning with Lasting Dog Training. We offer in-home training or work in real-life environments like parks or neighborhood settings—where behaviors naturally occur—for the most effective results.
How Puppy Training
Works
- At Lasting Dog Training, we use a positive puppy training method paired with an electronic collar—not a shock collar. Unlike shock collars, electronic collars do not harm or hurt your pup. They are used only to gently gain the puppy’s attention, never to punish bad behavior. Our method relies on constant praise and encouragement to reinforce good habits. The difference becomes clear when comparing a puppy trained out of fear to one who genuinely wants to please.

Positive Reinforcement for Positive Pups
- Positive reinforcement is the most effective and compassionate approach to puppy training. Punishment can lead to fear, which may evolve into aggression issues later in life. Our trainers follow a classical conditioning program that focuses on rewarding desired behaviors and teaching basic commands in a stress-free, nurturing way.
- Dogs naturally want to please their humans. When they understand that following commands results in treats, praise, or affection, they become eager participants in the training process. With a little patience—and the guidance of a professional puppy trainer—you’ll build a bond that lasts a lifetime.
- Our training is based on the Classical Conditioning model, also known as the Pavlovian response. This method develops automatic, reflexive responses to cues, so when you say “sit,” your dog sits—naturally and without hesitation. This proven technique allows us to deliver successful outcomes no matter your puppy’s starting behavior.
