The Importance and Benefits of Puppy Training for Your Puppy

Hey there, future puppy parents! So, you’ve just brought home an adorable little furball, and you’re probably thinking, “What now?”

Fret not! Puppy training is here to save the day and turn your paw-some buddy into the perfect family member—one who knows all about house rules, behaves like a champ, and understands where to go potty.

Think of puppy training as an investment in your loveable fur baby’s future—and yours, too! It’s not only about teaching your pup to sit or stay; it’s about building a relationship based on trust. And let’s be honest, amidst the tail wags and puppy eyes, isn’t that what every dog owner dreams of?

Now, I know the mere thought of puppy training sounds daunting, especially if Fido is your first four-legged friend, but worry not. We’ve got this covered! Introducing our fabulous training options available through Crockett Doodles, our sister company.

How do I sign up for a Puppy Trainer?

Once you are matched to your Mini Golden Retriever pup, you’ll be sent an email introducing our current training options that also includes a link to our Training Questionnaire. We will not be able to match you to a trainer until after you are matched to your puppy.

Simply submit the requested information that asks for your input about your puppy’s living environment, your specific requests, and any special circumstances that should be considered such as training to pee pads for apartment living, preparation for other pets in your home, specific command words, etc. This will help our Training Coordinator understand your goals to help match your puppy to the best Trainer to accomplish those goals. After submitting your questionnaire, our Training Coordinator will be glad to help answer any further questions you may have (like applicable fees, the Trainer’s environment, special requests, etc.)

Healthy Expectations

At Crockett Pups, our Puppy Trainers are excellent and experienced. That said, we need to be sure you understand that each puppy is wonderfully unique. The longer your puppy is in training, the more your puppy will retain. Please keep in mind that we cannot fully train any puppy within the number of weeks of training we offer.

Remember, each puppy is uniquely adorable and learns at their own pace. Long-term training is key, so keep those routines steady even after our trainers have worked their magic. Ultimately, it’s your continued love and consistency that will shape your pup into the best doggo they can be.

Happy training, and may your home be filled with barks of joy!
