Puppy Steps Program

Help make your puppy's first steps in the human world positive ones with our Puppy Steps Program. Puppies are naturally exuberant and playful, so they tend to nip and bite. They seem to eliminate constantly because they haven't developed the control to "hold it" for as long as adult dogs. Why should a puppy focus on "sit and stay" when he hasn't even mastered the basics? Our training program can help!

We'll make it easy for your puppy to be a success!

This program is an in home family lesson for puppies that are aged 7-16 weeks only. We cover an abundance of information in a 2 hour time frame. Here is what we concentrate on:

  • Housebreaking
  • Puppy grooming and handling skills
  • Appropriate toys and games
  • Play-biting and destructive chewing
  • Keeping your pup happy in a crate
  • Socialization to sights sounds and smells
  • How to encourage wanted behaviors, like the perfect recall/come command
  • How to properly handle unwanted behaviors, like jumping and bolting

I can not say enough good things about Renée and Follow Me Dog Training LLC! In 2020, I brought home an 8 week old Australian Shepherd/ Border Collie mix who was equal parts adorable and intelligent, mixed with a whole heap of chaos. To say I was in over my head was an understatement! Renée not only became Millie's trainer and life coach (make good choices 😇), but mine as well! Renée calmly reminded me with every frantic text that the puppy stage would not last forever, and she was right. I now have the most amazing, well behaved dog that I feel comfortable and confident taking anywhere! The training I have completed with Millie under Renée's guidance has created such a strong bond between us, unlike I've had with my previous dogs. The confidence I have in Millie's behavior allows us to share so many more experiences out in the world than would be possible otherwise. Renée is 100% worth the wait and the investment!
