Very good dog training. The dogs have progressed quite far and he gave us the skills to keep them learning new behaviors. I was very happy with the in-home training and how he fit it into our schedule. I looked at four different trainers before selecting Paul and am glad I chose him. If you need dog training then this is the place to get it.

I have nothing but great things to say about Good Buddy Dog Training. I’ve tried working with other trainers and they kinda made me feel like my dog was a lost cause. I started working with Paul and OMG can I see a difference in my pup. The instructions are simple to follow and Paul was really great to work with. I recommend Good Buddy Dog Training to any and everyone I know looking for a dog trainer.

FAQs About Puppy Training in Placitas

When should I start training my puppy?

It’s best to begin training when your puppy is around 10 weeks old. At this age, they’re curious and eager to learn, making it a great time to build positive behaviors and prevent bad habits. If you’re in Placitas and looking for a structured puppy training program, we’re here to support your pup’s development every step of the way.

What skills will my puppy learn?

Your puppy will learn essential commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” as well as leash walking, potty training, and how to interact properly with people and other dogs. At Good Buddy Dog Training, we create personalized puppy training plans that focus on what’s most important for your family’s lifestyle, so your puppy can grow into a well-mannered companion at home and in any environment.

What training methods do you use?

We use positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats, praise, and play, to encourage good behavior. Punishment-based methods can cause fear and anxiety, leading to more problems in the long run. Our approach takes a bit more patience, but it results in a happy, well-adjusted puppy and a trusting bond between you and your furry friend.

Where does the training happen?

All sessions take place at your home in Placitas, where your puppy is most comfortable. This allows us to tackle real-life scenarios in their natural environment, making the lessons practical and effective. Plus, it’s convenient for your family to participate and reinforce what your puppy learns during the sessions.

How do I get started?

It’s easy to get started! Schedule an in-home evaluation, where we’ll assess your puppy’s behavior, discuss your goals, and recommend a customized six-week training plan to fit your needs and schedule.
