Puppy Training in Aruba
Professional, In-home Puppy Training in Aruba
What could make your stay in paradise even more ideal? Getting a new puppy, of course! Just make sure you create a smooth transition for your new addition by choosing Happy Island Dog Training. We can help with all of your Aruba puppy training needs!
We always recommend getting in touch before you bring your new puppy home. We can talk about behavioral goals, setting boundaries, and creating a structured routine. This way, you have the tools to communicate with your puppy from day one.
However, if you don’t think to call, or you don’t have any problems for a few months, we can still help.
Common puppy problems we see are:
- House training
This is one of the most frustrating challenges facing owners of a new puppy. Some dogs catch on quick and learn exactly where they are allowed to eliminate. They either adjust to the routine the owner sets, or they learn how to get the owner’s attention. No muss, no fuss.
In other cases, it’s a challenge that makes an owner reconsider their decision to adopt. Before you take that step, give us a call and learn how Happy Island Dog Training can help you with puppy house training.
- Nipping and Chewing
Especially when you have a teething puppy on your hands, the chewed-up shoes and torn clothes seem relentless. We can help you choose the best way to put a stop to this undesirable puppy behavior using positive reinforcement.
- Basic Obedience
Basic obedience training for your puppy is a must. It helps your puppy learn to listen to you from the start and gives you tools to keep your puppy’s more annoying habits—like jumping, barking, and leash pulling—under control. If your puppy learns basic obedience early on, it helps them develop trust in you and makes it easier for them to learn other lessons later on.
- Crate Training
Crate training can be a very useful tool when preventing issues like separation anxiety. Though many view a crate as a cage, with proper training, the dog will view it as a den. Offering your dog a safe, quiet retreat when he starts to feel overwhelmed can be a very important step in your pup learning to self-soothe.
- Introduction to the Family
Although we all imagine our new puppy becoming our existing pets’ best friend or running, tail-wagging, into the arms of our young children, the reality does not always deliver. It’s normal for a puppy to be afraid in a new environment, and we can help your children become an important part of his life in a safe, slow way.
In the same vein, older dogs and cats may not be too keen on having their routine interrupted with a boisterous intruder. The end goal is for everyone to get along and for your new puppy to fit seamlessly into your family unit. We can help you achieve that.
