Our Unique Private puppy training services

Our puppy training services offer special advantages. Sessions at our convenient, Northern Virginia home office offer the benefits of practicing with your puppy with dogs whose temperament and behavioral history is known, a new environment and pup-sized agility equipment all while having the benefit of one-on-one instruction from our highly experienced, Certified professional dog trainer.

Because each puppy is a unique individual, we adapt lesson content, socialization experiences and recommendations to each puppy. Our trainer encourages clients to ask questions by phone or email between sessions as well, so professional support is always available.

our puppy training sessions Are customized but typically include:

Obedience Training Skills - come, sit, down, stay, "off" (drop it), "go to your place," leash walking, attention ("watch me") Check out videos of our trainer's puppy demonstrating these skills!

Puppy Behavioral Skills - address puppy mouthing/biting, house training, teach puppy to accept grooming/handling calmly, address/prevent jumping up, crating, and learn strategies to prevent future behavior problems (like object/food guarding)

Because early socialization, including exposure to new settings/situations and other dogs is in a young puppy's best interest, puppy lessons are scheduled at our Vienna, Northern Virginia home office where we can provide the opportunity for your puppy to practice with our dogs. See our article online on puppy socialization.

After completing the puppy starter package, we may be able to provide a lesson or two at your home if desired in the following locations (based on scheduling availability):

Northern Virginia Arlington, Alexandria (portions close to Annandale, Falls Church and Arlington only), Fairfax County including Falls Church, Great Falls, McLean, Oakton, Reston, Vienna and parts of Centreville

Charlotte, a young goldendoodle puppy, and one of our graduates, demonstrates her sit.

Chester, one of Cooperative Paws' graduates, and an adorable Boston Terrier puppy at 12 weeks.
