Puppy Training Programs
Training should begin the moment your puppy comes home. Our programs establish effective communication, boundaries, and structure from day one — shaping behavior, building confidence, and supporting healthy development without rushing or overwhelming your puppy.
“The habits you build now will shape their behavior for years to come.”
Puppies 16 weeks to under 6 monthsThe ideal time to begin puppy training is as soon as your new puppy comes home, typically between 10 to 12 weeks of age. This critical early period is known as the socialization window — when your puppy is most receptive to learning. Koru K9 puppy programs are open to puppies 16 weeks to under 6 months old.
Let the 'heeling' begin.
Your puppy will be immersed in a trainer-guided environment that reinforces calm behavior, confidence building, and early obedience.
We focus on real-world skills, not just commands, so your puppy learns how to live successfully with you: in your home, on walks, and in everyday life.

When nothing else worked, Koru K9 did
Puppies and young dogs, transformed — in their families’ own words.
“Our Pitsky was having so many behavior issues and he came back with so many new skills and confidence.”
“I took my 1 1/2 year old 'hyper' aussie doodle, Gigi for a 3 week board and train with Irini.”
“Walks used to be stressful, with constant pulling and lack of focus—but Halley A. has transformed that experience completely.”
Puppy training FAQs
1. Start Early: Begin as soon as your puppy comes home, as this is when they're most receptive to learning. 2. Focus on the Fundamentals: Start with housebreaking, crate training, and proper socialization. 3. Build a Foundation in Core Obedience: Teach basic commands like sit, stay, and come using positive reinforcement methods. 4. Seek Professional Guidance: Work with an expert trainer who can provide personalized feedback and a structured plan.
Training your dog is something that should be a constant and continual process in your dog's life. By starting your puppy off young, you are setting good foundation to build on top of. Your dog, much like a young child, will go through development changes, and you'll need to stay consistent with training / continue to advance as your dog matures. Rest assured, we can help you through this process.
