FURST STEPS

  • 6 private training sessions
  • Socialization done right, during the critical window
  • Potty training, biting, and puppy obedience basics
  • Owner coaching so you know exactly what to do all week
  • Beginner-friendly, relationship-based approach

Is this your puppy?

Furst Steps is a great fit if…

  • You’re still picking out your puppy and want the ball rolling before they come home
  • Your puppy just came home and you’re figuring out what to do first
  • Your puppy isn’t fully vaccinated yet — we come to you, so safe socialization starts now, during the window that matters most
  • Potty training and those extra-mouthy teething weeks are running the house
  • Your home wasn’t puppy-proofed — and now you’re learning what that even means
  • You’ve never had a dog, and you’re starting your dog life with a puppy

Sound familiar? You’re exactly who this package was built for.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Book a free intro call

    We’ll talk about your puppy — or your puppy plans — and match you with the right trainer.

  2. 2

    Meet your trainer for an evaluation

    Your trainer meets you and your puppy in person and makes sure you’re starting in the right package. Borderline age, a more mature pup, or an experienced owner working on bigger things might point to Furry Fundamentals instead — this package is about shaping good habits from the start and setting your puppy up for success.

    • Evaluations are $150
    • No commitment beyond the evaluation — you decide if we’re the right fit
  3. 3

    Map out your six sessions

    If we’re a fit, we build your plan together — and the trainer you evaluated with is your trainer for the whole package.

    • Six one-hour private sessions — weekly is the goal, and we’ll map all six out from day one
    • Sessions are completed within two months of starting. Puppyhood moves fast, and this package is built for the puppy window — not adolescent issues or serious behavior concerns
    • Sessions not used within the two months expire — after that, continuing is at our $85/hour rate
  4. 4

    Schedule and payment

    We get your sessions on the calendar and get started — the earlier in puppyhood, the better.

    • Package payment is due in full before your first session
    • Financing available
  5. 5

    Train where your puppy is growing up

    Sessions happen in your home and neighborhood — and your trainer is on retainer between sessions. Real questions get real answers, no waiting for the next class.

    • Puppy socialization, done safely — even before vaccinations are finished, we build controlled, positive exposure to the sights, sounds, and experiences that shape a confident adult dog
    • A full hour every session — and no, your puppy won’t work for sixty minutes straight. Puppies train in short bursts; the rest of the hour is yours: coaching, questions, and the skills you’ll use all week. Training you is training them.

Graduates of Furst Steps get first pick of our group classes — and follow-up sessions are always available at $85/hour with the trainer who already knows your dog.

Grow up with Understanding

A puppy that's building good habits — and an owner who knows exactly what to do next.

Socialization, potty training, and real foundations during the window that shapes everything.
