Start Your Puppy Off Right From Day One
At A Better Dog Trainer, we believe the dog of your dreams starts with the best puppy training. That’s why we encourage clients to schedule their first session as early as possible—often before the puppy even comes home.
With the right guidance from day one, you’ll feel fully prepared, confident, and ready to raise your puppy into a well-mannered, loving companion.
Raising a puppy is exciting, rewarding…and sometimes downright overwhelming. As your puppy grows through developmental stages, new behaviors pop up fast—some adorable, some challenging, and some potentially destructive.
Our Bay Area puppy obedience training program helps you anticipate these stages and guide your puppy through them with clarity and confidence.
We give you everything you need to build a confident, well-adjusted, obedient young dog:
• Safe socialization techniques
• Developmental stages and what to expect
• Potty training
• Crate training
• What equipment you need before bringing your puppy home
• Managing mouthing, biting, chewing
Your puppy will learn the core skills needed for lifelong good behavior:
• Sit
• Down
• Come
• Walking on a leash (and heel for older puppies)
• Stay
• Release command
• Proper greetings with people
• Proper behavior around other dogs
• Waiting at the door
• “Leave It” (respect for food and possessions)
• “Go On” — move away from the dinner table
• Impulse control
These commands form the foundation of reliable obedience as your puppy grows.
Early dog training and puppy training is the most powerful way to prevent the behavior issues that frustrate many dog owners. Our program helps you avoid:
• Aggression
• Fearfulness
• Mouthing & nipping
• Barking

• Jumping
