Paws Forward Training

Training is structured in progressive stages: puppy training focuses on foundational habits like potty training and basic commands; general obedience builds on recall, heelwork, and place training with real-world exposure; advanced training requires completion of two general obedience rounds and focuses on off-leash mastery and fine-tuning. Each session builds on prior lessons, with weekly focus areas and consistent reinforcement. Training occurs in-home and transitions to public environments as the dog progresses.
