Training Material - Links From A Professional Dog Trainer

Professional dog walking with award winning dog walkers in San Francisco CA.

If there's one article to read, let this be the one. This article is meant to be a guide for any new dog owner, but it's specifically built for puppies. As with any exercise regimen you'll want to set aside dedicated time blocks for training, practice consistently, and increase the challenge as time goes on by moving the training into areas of more distraction. Take it slow. Build each behavior incrementally, allowing the dog to master each step before proceeding too fast.

If you ever need anything it's all on YouTube these days!
