In-Home Puppy Training & Consultations

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is exciting—yet it’s also one of the most important windows for training. At Naples Dog Academy, we help Naples-area families give their puppies the right foundation: confidence, calmness, good manners, and strong communication skills that last a lifetime.

Our balanced, positive-reinforcement-based approach ensures that training is effective and fun for both you and your puppy.

Why Early Puppy Training Matters

Puppies learn rapidly between 8–20 weeks. The habits and behaviors formed during this period shape your dog’s lifelong temperament.


Early training helps your puppy:

Understand essential household rules

Develop confidence in new environments

Prevent future behavioral problems

Build safe social skills around people and dogs

Strengthen their bond with you



At Naples Dog Academy, we make this stage simple, structured, and stress-free.
