Puppy Foundations
At Taylor’d K9s, we offer personalized puppy training designed to build confidence, structure, and good habits from the very beginning. Our Puppy Foundations program covers essential skills like crate training, potty training, socialization, leash manners, and early obedience. We help families across South Carolina raise well-mannered, confident puppies—one lesson at a time.
What is the Puppy Foundations Program?
Our Puppy Foundations program is designed to give your pup the best possible start in life by building trust, confidence, and structure from day one. Puppies are like sponges during their early development, which makes this stage the most important window for teaching essential life skills and preventing unwanted behaviors before they form.
This program is ideal for puppies 16 weeks and older. We focus on real-world, age-appropriate training that helps your puppy understand how to thrive in your home and beyond. Each lesson is personalized based on your puppy’s temperament, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals.
Training includes key areas such as:
- Crate and potty training routines
- Name recognition and engagement
- Leash introduction and early leash manners
- Bite inhibition and handling
- Basic obedience (sit, down, come, place)
- Early socialization and confidence-building exercises
- Setting boundaries and structure in the home
We don’t just train your puppy—we coach you on how to maintain consistency, correct calmly, and guide your dog with confidence. Our goal is to set your puppy up for long-term success and give your family the tools to support that growth as your dog matures.
Whether this is your first puppy or you're looking to do things differently this time around, the Puppy Foundations program is built to give you peace of mind, a solid plan, and a well-adjusted companion.
