Off Leash K9 Training, Fort Lauderdale · For Pups 8 Weeks to 5 Months
Puppy Training in Fort Lauderdale: 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.
- ★ 4.9 rated — our South Florida team
- Private classes — never group chaos
- AKC S.T.A.R. certificate available
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. A city pup here will meet all of it early — sidewalks, elevators, patios, boats — and structured, positive-reinforcement work now prevents the problems owners call us about later.
Puppy programs below: consultation, AKC S.T.A.R. classes, and the 1- or 2-week puppy board & trains. Under 5 months, training runs on the clicker/treat method — e-collar training starts at 5 months. From 5 months, your dog moves up to Basic Obedience.
