PUPPY TRAINING SERVICES

Well-trained puppies are safer, less destructive, and easier to live with.

Be kind to yourself. Train your puppy now and get it right the first

We are master puppy trainers. No, literally. Rachel holds a master’s degree in applied animal behavior and welfare and spent close to 3 years researching puppy behavior, training, and socialization.

The behaviors you do, or do not, teach your puppy today will stick around for the rest of their life. Without help and guidance their annoying and problematic behaviors will get worse as they get older. But, beginning training early gives you an opportunity to ensure they outgrow their annoying behaviors, to prevent problematic behaviors before they even begin, to create habits that lead to a dog who is happy, behaviorally healthy, and easy to live with.

WHY PUPPY TRAIN?

The dog of your dreams is right around the corner.

We will help you

Survive puppyhood

Our unique approach to dog training leaves you feeling calm and confident.

Prevent undesired behaviors

Such as aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and other behavior problems.

Basic training for your dogs

Teach your dog basic obedience, potty training, and anything else you would like.

Ensure your puppy is socialized

Incorrect socialization is as bad as no socialization.

Bond with your puppy

As they settle into your home and help you discover their unique quirks, and personality.

Establish boundaries

And fix behaviors while remaining humane and positive.

Puppy Training Options

We know that training a puppy is overwhelming. Leash and Learn offers two specialized training paths you can choose from. You will have the puppy of your dreams with both, but they get you there in very different ways.

The Leashed Path

Premium Puppy Jumpstart Programs

New Yorkers are busy. Time is precious and there aren’t enough hours in a day. Our jumpstart programs are designed to give you some time back while we train your puppy for you.

How it works
  • A trainer comes to your home 3 times per week to train your puppy
  • You receive detailed notes, pictures, and/or videos after every session
  • We focus on leash walking, obedience, socialization, manners, crate training, and any other skills your puppy needs to learn
  • On your own you focus on potty training, socialization, and biting and nipping
  • We meet every 1-2 weeks to teach you how to implement the skills
