Puppies, especially those who are naturally shy or fearful, require guidance to develop confidence. Gradual exposure and positive reinforcement allow them to explore new settings at their own speed, building resilience to overcome anxieties of loud noises, unknown people, and other canines. At AvidDog Dog Training, we provide individualized, high-quality puppy training services that are tailored to your pup's specific needs. We use tried-and-true strategies to teach puppies in Wilmington, NC, and the surrounding areas important behaviors and commands in a stress-free, supportive environment.
With certified dog trainers experienced in working with all breeds and ages, we ensure your puppy grows happy, healthy, and well-behaved.
The best time to start puppy training is as soon as you bring your puppy home, which is usually between 8 and 12 weeks old. Puppies are most impressionable at this age, which is the ideal time to introduce good habits. Puppy socialization occurs between the ages of 3 and 14 weeks, when they are most open to new experiences. During this period, exposure to various surroundings, people, and animals helps them develop into confident, well-adjusted adult canines. AvidDog Dog Training offers systematic socialization lessons that carefully introduce your dog to new stimuli, preventing potential difficulties such as fear, aggression, or anxiety.
We provide a range of puppy training services tailored to your schedule and your dog's specific needs. Whether you want to focus on basic commands, behavioral correction, or socialization, our programs will help your puppy grow and develop into a well-mannered adult dog.
Socialization is critical for developing confident, well-adjusted dogs. Our Puppy Socialization Training offers puppies a pleasant and safe setting in which they can connect with people and discover new sights, sounds, and smells. This exposure reduces future behavioral difficulties and allows puppies to develop comfortable in a variety of circumstances.
Basic obedience is the foundation of proper behavior. AvidDog’s Foundational Dog Obedience Training focuses on teaching basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down. These commands not only make it easier to control your dog, but they also keep him safe in potentially harmful situations.
