There are many things to think about when bringing home a puppy for the first time. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior says that early socialization is essential to a happy and well-adjusted dog. We began puppy training in Miami many years ago and have expanded to puppy training in Broward, Palm Beach counties and New York City. We are here to guide you through every step of the puppy training process. The age of 1 – 4 months is the critical learning period for puppy training. Research shows that behaviors learned during this time frame have a tendency to stick throughout the puppy’s life more than at any other age. It is therefore critical to put your pup on the path to success, harmony and balance within this highly influential time frame.

For all of your puppy training Miami and South Florida needs Fun Paw Care will be there to teach you and your puppy all there is to know about puppy training and behavior. You can rely on Fun Paw Care to offer the most up-to-date scientifically proven, positive reinforcement, gentle approach to start your relationship off on the right paw for the rest of your puppy’s life.
