Training Philosophy
Congratulations on your new puppy! Whether you are an experienced dog owner or this is your first time experiencing puppyhood, there is nothing quite like bringing your new puppy home for the first time. Our Austin puppy training programs are designed to develop long-term success with high-levels of obedience and manners. Whether that’s taking your puppy to dog-friendly restaurants and coffee shops around Austin, weekends at Austin’s dog parks, or hikes around Barton Creek, you will be able to do it all. Our unique puppy training programs allow us to customize each program to achieve any puppy training goal or address any puppy problem behavior. We craft our Austin puppy training programs around what matters most to you.
Our Austin team is led by one of the few Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists in the country, Dr. Echterling Savage. Our Austin puppy training programs are all private, one-on-one sessions with Dr Echterling-Savage. Common puppy problem behaviors our Austin puppy owners want to eliminate include jumping, play-biting, and chewing. We will teach you how to potty train a puppy, how to crate train a puppy, how to socialize a puppy, and answer any other questions you might have along the way. From leash training at The Domain to appropriately greeting guests at your Zilker home, we will train your puppy to be the perfect companion on all of your Austin adventures! We aim to create a lifelong love of learning for every puppy!
Training Programs
In our Puppy Obedience and Manners Behavior Modification Package, we offer one-on-one virtual sessions with Dr. Echterling-Savage, our Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB). Dr. Echterling-Savage is one of only a few Board Certified Behavior Analysts specializing in Applied Animal Behavior, with only around 50 CAABs in the country. With decades of expertise, including published research on canine behavior, Dr. Echterling-Savage is a leading expert in her field, making her consultations an invaluable opportunity for those seeking long lasting change.
Dr. Echterling-Savage will connect with you virtually to evaluate your puppy’s behavior, designing a training program that addresses your puppy’s specific needs. After your initial meeting, Dr. Echterling-Savage will continue to offer guidance and troubleshoot puppy training scenarios, ensuring ongoing progress in your puppy’s training. The Puppy Obedience and Manners Behavior Modification Package is available for $750 which includes two hours of virtual sessions and continued support.
