Start Them Off Right
Day training for puppies in the Hudson Valley, building calm, confidence, and great manners from the very beginning.
The early months matter most. Our Puppy Foundational Program lays the groundwork for a confident, well-manned, balanced dog through structure, exposure, and consistency.
Build the Right Foundation from
Day One.
Calm, confident puppies don’t happen by accident—they’re guided.
Puppies are learning everything for the first time and without structure, it’s easy for unwanted behaviors to take hold. Biting, jumping, accidents in the house, and constant chaos can quickly become the norm.
Our day training program is designed to guide your puppy from the very beginning. We build confidence through exposure to all sorts of stimuli and build trust and manners through clear communication.
Through consistent, real-world training, your puppy will learn essential commands like sit, down, place, and “let’s go,” while also developing the ability to settle, focus, and respond appropriately in everyday situations.
We also focus on the essentials that matter most, crate training, housebreaking, and reducing behaviors like nipping and overexcitement. This combination allows your puppy to grow into a well-mannered, enjoyable adult dog.

"Lisa at Grateful Pups is amazing! She worked with my puppy Gus and helped him become so much more well-mannered, calm, and obedient. Walking him used to be a challenge, but now he’s wonderful on a leash...Highly recommend Grateful Pups to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and effective dog trainer!"
