Puppy Foundation Training and Socialization

Why Foundation Matters

Most people think puppy training is about getting a dog to sit or stay. That comes later. At the 'Puppy Foundation' stage, my priority is the brain. We are building resilience. A puppy that hasn't seen the world is a puppy that will likely develop anxiety, fear aggression, or reactivity later in life.

What We Cover

We focus on the non-negotiables that make living with a dog peaceful:

• Toilet Training: We establish a rigorous schedule to imprint habits early.
• Crate Conditioning: This isn't about locking them up. It's about creating a safe space that reduces separation anxiety, which is a major issue I see in adult dogs I rehabilitate.
• Bite Inhibition: Puppies have sharp teeth and zero impulse control. We teach them how to use their mouths gently, so playing doesn't turn into a painful experience for you.
• Sensory Exposure: As I do with all my puppies, we introduce things like metal lids, plastic chairs, and different terrains. This builds the confidence they need to handle the unpredictable environment of Mumbai.

The Human Element

I can train your puppy to be perfect in my facility, but if you don't know how to handle them, it falls apart at home. That's why the 'Owner Handover' is a mandatory part of my program. I show you exactly what your pup has learned and guide you on how to maintain it. You aren't just getting a trained puppy; you're getting the tools to be a better leader for your dog.
