Congratulations on getting a puppy. This can be one of the most rewarding things you've ever done.

We at Perfect Manners Dog Training, are here to help. Training your puppy to become the perfect family dog is our specialty and we have helped thousands of families achieve the goal of having a loving, well mannered family dog.

A little about our philosophy and methods.......

First and foremost we conduct all training in your home. This is your dog's environment and each home will have different challenges. It is fairly irrelevant how your dog behaves in an obedience class. You want your dog to behave in harmony with what is best suited for your home environment.

We are not wedded to a rigid school of thought regarding a methodology of training. The benefit of our over 30 years of training dogs is that we individually tailor our training to your dog's temperament. Puppies, like children are individual. A one size fits all method may either help or harm your pup.

Our primary focus is on training behavior not tricks. Yes, your pup will well learn the core commands of sit, down, heel, stay, wait and come. However, these skills are simply an effective means to form the paramount bond of having a dog that loves and holds you in such high esteem  that they respect and strive to always behave in a manner that will bring you joy.

We recommend you begin training your pup at ten to twelve weeks. Your training would begin when you bring your puppy home and call us. We expect and welcome you to ask us questions about potty training and socialization on your first phone call to us.  At that time we would answer all your questions and schedule an appointment for our trainer to come out and conduct your first session.

If you are fortunate, you will share your life with your new dog for over a decade. Your decision to enlist expert guidance now, while your puppy is forming lifelong patterns of behavior, is an investment that will be abundantly repaid for years and years to come.
