Puppy Training

The early months of a puppy’s life are some of the most important for shaping their behavior, confidence, and relationship with their humans. At Milligan Valley K9 Academy, we offer a variety of puppy training options to help you build a strong foundation, whether you’re prepping for our Board and Train program or looking for support with early behavior challenges.

Puppy Lessons That Set Your Relationship Up for Success

Planning to enroll your puppy in our Board and Train program once they’re old enough (6 months+)? Great news! We offer 1–2 free puppy lessons when you place a deposit for a future board and train spot.

These lessons are designed to help you navigate early puppyhood and establish healthy routines before the intensive training begins. We can help address the following:

• Stop nipping and mouthing behavior early on
• Minimize crate whining and promote calm crate habits
• Discourage jumping on people
• Build focus and engagement through simple commands and routines

Even a few early sessions can make a big difference, and they help ensure your puppy is in the right mindset to thrive in our board and train environment down the line.

Private Puppy Training Tailored to You

Whether you’re a first-time puppy parent or just need help with a few problem behaviors, we also offer private puppy training lessons that are customized to your pup’s age, personality, and your goals as an owner.
