Puppy Training Classes in South Jersey
The first 16 weeks shape the next 16 years.
The habits your puppy builds now — good or bad — become the dog you live with for the next decade. Our puppy program covers socialization, potty and crate training, bite inhibition, name recognition and confidence-building, and puts your pup on track for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy title with an official AKC evaluator.
Socialization Done Right
Structured, safe exposure to people, dogs, surfaces and sounds during the critical window — not chaotic dog-park free-for-alls.
Potty & Crate Training
A proven schedule-based system that gets most puppies reliably house-trained in weeks, not months.
Bite Inhibition & Manners
Stop the piranha phase: nipping, jumping, chewing and demand barking, handled early.
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy
Train and test with an official AKC evaluator — your puppy's first title and a foundation for CGC.
Puppy Training FAQs
When should I start training my puppy?
Immediately — ideally between 8 and 16 weeks. This is the critical socialization window. Waiting until 6 months means missing the easiest teaching period of your dog's life.
How do I stop my puppy from biting?
Puppy nipping is normal but must be redirected consistently. We teach bite inhibition through redirection, impulse-control games and structured settling — usually resolved within a few weeks of consistent work.
How long does potty training a puppy take?
With a consistent schedule, crate routine and supervision, most puppies are reliably house-trained in 4–8 weeks. We set up the full system in your first session.
