How do I deal with this puppy?

First off, congratulations on getting a puppy! That is a big step, whether it just happened, or you’ve known about it for sometime, Positive Pathways Dog Training is here to help. New, or returning puppy owners can get answers to the challenges you face. Start by taking your First Footsteps, or transform into a Puppy Trailblazer to learn everything about your puppy, from potty training, to walking calmly through a crowd we are here to support you through your journey.

How do I stop my puppy from chewing?

Great news, the constant chewing won’t last forever. Unfortunately chewing is a natural behavior that won’t ever stop. Rather than stopping this natural and normal behavior, how can we put it to better use? Through our Puppy Pathfinders course, take your First Footsteps to success, or become a Puppy Trailblazer to get support throughout your puppy journey.

I’m not sure my puppy is old enough to start classes yet.

That’s ok, our First Footsteps class is a great place to start even before your puppy comes home! All of our puppy courses are done, primarily, from the safety and comfort of your own home. Spend time learning virtually through weekly zoom meetings to start your path to find the future dog you imagine.

Why isn’t my puppy listening to me anymore? Did I do something wrong?

If you are starting to get to your wits end, when you once had the best behaved dog in the world? Don’t Panic, this is a normal part of growing up. We’ve all been teenagers before, or maybe you’ve had teens of your own, they don’t listen very well either. Our Journey Builders class is there to be a light on your dark path. Show your dog the way forward at your side, and discover the dog you’ve always dreamed of. 


Skip the worry all together and set your puppy up for success from the start with our Puppy Trailblazers, and have the solutions to the struggles before they happen..

What if I want to socialize my puppy during a group class?

There is more to socialization than just meeting people and other dogs. Starting in our Puppy Foundations course, we will explore socialization beyond greetings. The Puppy Foundations course has 1 group outing available while the Journey Builders has 2 outings, and the Puppy Trailblazers has 4 group outings to explore in public, meet people, meet other puppies, and play as a group at the end.

I don’t understand why my puppy keeps peeing in the house?

We understand how frustrating it is to feel like you are always cleaning up a mess your puppy made. Puppy Pathfinders is here to guide you out of the minefield and back into the home you want. Explore solutions with other owners struggling to keep up with the chaos of living with a puppy.
