The Basis: Behavior Training

Nothing takes the fun out of getting a new dog or puppy like having your beloved new pet start acting like a nuisance. Biting, jumping on guests, chewing up clothing and furniture, barking loudly, and other undesirable behaviors can make your adorable new family member feel like a pest. However, all of this can easily be solved for good through training.

Fundamental obedience training is the cornerstone of a well-behaved canine’s temperament. At Meadowlake, we start with essential behaviors like ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘place’, and walking on a loose leash. To further ensure your pet feels comfortable in various situations and settings, we focus on commands, proper greetings, and doggie etiquette that enhances communication between you and your pup. We address unwanted behaviors and habits, such as barking, jumping, chewing, and mouthing, that should be eliminated or controlled for the comfort of both you and your canine companion.

At Meadowlake, we provide personalized one-on-one attention, allowing owners to customize their pet’s training by prioritizing the most important issues and skills. Our programs also teach pets how to remain consistent even during times of stress, distraction, or distance, ensuring long-term success through comprehensive training.

Early Start Puppy Programs

Puppies can start training as early as 16 weeks old. Meadowlake’s customized programs are perfect for dogs of any age. Building a strong foundation early in puppyhood, along with socialization with new people and other dogs, is the best way to set you and your pup up for lifelong success. While your puppy is with us, they will be introduced to a variety of behavioral enrichment activities. Puppy sessions include basic commands such as sit, come, and leash training. The sooner the start, the better—an early foundation leads to more confident adult dogs.

“Today was Ash’s first day with training as a Goldendoodle standard puppy. I felt so comfortable and we actually had fun. My kids are happy and I’m so grateful. This will be an extended family member! Great place. Their older dogs were enjoying bathing in the sun (poolside) with trainers playing with them. I tip my hat off to you guys for really loving these animals!”
