Puppy Academy

The Smartest Start for Your City Puppy

A Well-Behaved Puppy Without the Overwhelm

Your puppy only gets one chance at a proper start in life.

The critical socialization window closes by 12-16 weeks—after that, their ability to adapt to new experiences drops dramatically. Miss this window, and you could spend years undoing fear, anxiety, and reactivity that could have been easily prevented.

But between work, family, and daily responsibilities, it’s almost impossible to give your puppy the constant exposure, structure, and training they need all on your own.

That’s where Puppy Academy comes in.

✅ Potty Training & Crate Conditioning – Even if you work full-time, your puppy will stay on track.
✅ Socialization with Dogs & People – Building an extensive social network for a well-adjusted puppy.
✅ Basic Obedience & Manners – Teaching attention, leash skills, and calm behavior.
✅ Confidence-Building for City Life – Elevators, crosswalks, loud noises, busy streets—your puppy will be prepared.
✅ Step-by-Step Owner Coaching – No conflicting advice, just a clear plan that works.

💡 Puppy Academy is NOT just training—it’s a complete education for your puppy’s future.

Why Choose Puppy Academy?

🏫 Because Puppies Need School, Too

Just like you wouldn’t keep your child home all day and expect them to grow up socially and emotionally well-adjusted, you can’t homeschool a puppy without serious time and effort.

Puppies need constant exposure, socialization, and structure in their first few months. Without it, even genetically stable puppies can become fearful, reactive, and difficult to live with. The problem is, it is extremely time consuming and nuanced work.

The solution is Puppy Academy, where you can leave your puppy’s critical early learning weeks to seasoned experts. We make it effortless by doing the work for you—so you can simply enjoy your puppy without the stress.

🔥 An Alternative to Board & Train

Puppy Academy gives you the best of both worlds—you get all the benefits of expert training and socialization while still spending every evening and weekend bonding with your puppy at home and staying an active part of their early learning.

🕒 We Handle the Hardest Parts for You

Potty training can feel impossible when you work full-time. The reality is, most owners don’t have the time to do it properly—leading to months of exhaustion, accidents, and frustration.

With Puppy Academy, we do the heavy lifting during your workday, so you can focus on what you need to do. By the time you pick up your puppy, they’ll be on track, and you’ll have the energy and clarity to reinforce their progress at home. With our teamwork, together we’ll have your puppy potty trained in record time!

✅ No Guesswork, No Conflicting Advice

Every week, we tell you exactly what to work on at home—so you never have to guess whether you’re doing it right.
