Do I need training? My puppy sits already!
It’s awesome that you are starting training at home already. While this is a fantastic start, socialization and real-world experience is equally crucial. Videos and online guides can't replicate the valuable insights gained from observing your pup's interactions with people, other dogs and different environments. Clever Pups goes beyond basic manners, equipping you with the strategies to guide your puppy towards positive behaviours and experiences. We're here to help you and your dog master essential obedience and social skills for a well-rounded upbringing.
I just really want to have a nice dog.
It’s impossible to comprehend the possibility of a sweet puppy growing up to dislike other dogs, people, or develop behavioural problems like being destructive or having anxiety. People with reactive or impolite dogs didn’t plan on the dog being that way. Often this critical puppy stage was neglected, or they weren’t training consistently, and bad behaviours increased over time. Clever Pups is here to guide you from the beginning, teaching you how to consistently train your puppy to behave well and interact respectfully with others.
You’ll also receive:
access to practice trackers and additional resources for reinforcing learned skills
a special 40% discount on daycare fees to encourage your puppy to apply newly learned behaviours
an exclusive locally crafted Clever Canines hands-free leash
10% off the purchase of a martingale collar and six-foot leash from Unleashed
benefit from 10% off and priority enrolment for Core (advance training program)
