Off Leash K9 Training, Miami · For Pups 8 Weeks to 5 Months

Puppy Training in Miami: Start on the Right Paw

The habits your puppy builds before 5 months last a lifetime — potty routines, crate comfort, bite inhibition, and how they meet the world. Our puppy programs handle exactly that window, so that when your pup graduates to Basic Obedience at 5 months, the foundation is already poured.

Why the 8-Week-to-5-Month Window Matters

Puppy classes are not a replacement for Basic Obedience — which starts at 5 months due to your dog’s growth and socialization window. They’re designed to give you both the foundation needed to excel. During these months your puppy is deciding what’s normal: crates, car rides, other dogs, hands near the food bowl. Structured, positive-reinforcement work now prevents the problems Miami owners call us about later.
