Puppy Training Programs
Real training. Real results.
Our puppy programs are designed to start your puppy off on the right paw! Training for your puppy should begin the moment you bring your puppy home. Our programs establish effective communication and boundaries for you and your puppy. Koru K9 accomplishes this by being a positive influence and shaping the behavior of your growing puppy through our holistic approach. Your puppy will be immersed 24/7 in our training program designed specifically to give your puppy a positive head start in life to build their confidence! This program is for puppies between the age of 16 weeks old and under 6 months old. If your dog is over 6 months of age or has preexisting behavioral issues, see our standard programs (In-Home, Board & Train, Hybrid Training). These puppy programs begin to create a solid foundation of structure, basic commands and overall obedience to help them succeed in becoming an upstanding canine companion.

Behaviors & Commands Your Puppy Will Learn

We’ll guide you through a combination of state of mind training, core obedience, and real-world manners, ensuring a calm and confident start for your puppy’s life.

When to start puppy training?
The ideal time to begin puppy training is as soon as your new puppy comes home, typically between 10 to 12 weeks of age. This critical early period is known as the socialization window, and it’s when puppies are most receptive to learning and forming positive associations. At Koru K9, we believe in starting early to build a strong foundation in core obedience, socialization, and housebreaking that will last a lifetime. Don’t wait until behavioral issues start—proactive training is the key to a happy, well-behaved dog.
