Your first weeks
A First Six Weeks of Training, Step by Step
Every plan is different. This is one common pattern, shown to help you know what to ask. It is not a promise or a fixed schedule.
- Week 1
Get to know each other
A trainer learns about your dog's habits, fears and favorite rewards, and you share your goals.
- Week 2
Build the basics
Short sessions teach name response, sit and walking beside you in quiet places.
- Weeks 3 and 4
Add real life
Skills move to sidewalks, lobbies and parking lots, with a few distractions at a time.
- Week 5
Test it out
You practice cues in busier spots while the trainer coaches your timing.
- Week 6
Make it stick
A plan for daily practice and a written summary help skills last.
The final session is where you review cues, timing and house rules. Ask for it up front, and plan a few minutes of daily practice afterward.
