Training Your Puppy Starts Here
The Importance of Training Your Puppy Early
Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting and joyous occasion. However, it also comes with responsibilities, one of the most critical being training your puppy as soon as possible. At Jones Farm Puppies, we understand the importance of early training, which is why we begin early socialization the day they are born. Additionally, we begin training your puppy at 4 weeks of age because we know the importance of lifetime emotional intelligence.
Why Choose Puppy Kindergarten?
Our Puppy Kindergarten is designed to give your puppy a strong foundation in obedience and socialization. Here are some compelling reasons to consider our program:
- Professional Trainers: Our trainers have years of experience and focus on using positive reinforcement to teach your puppy essential skills.
- Affordable Investment: Three extra weeks in Puppy Kindergarten is very affordable and will save you on trainers later.
- Smart Puppies: Our Cavapoos and Micro Mini Goldendoodles are exceptionally intelligent and learn quickly with the right guidance.
The Benefits of a Trained Dog
Having a trained dog can make a world of difference in your everyday life. Here are a few benefits:
- Better Behavior: Trained dogs are less likely to have destructive behaviors such as chewing furniture or excessive barking.
- Safety: A properly trained dog will respond to commands better, which can prevent dangerous situations like running into traffic.
- Stronger Bond: Training strengthens the bond between you and your puppy, leading to a more fulfilling relationship.
- Socialization: Training helps your dog interact better with other animals and people, making social outings more enjoyable.
Tips for Training Your Puppy
While our Puppy Kindergarten is highly recommended, we understand that some pet owners might want to try training on their own. Here are a few tips if you decide to take this route:
- Consistency is Key: Make sure to be consistent with commands and rewards to avoid confusing your puppy.
- Positive Reinforcement: Use healthy treats and praise to reward good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior.
- Patience: Training takes time and patience. Don’t rush the process, and celebrate small victories.
- Resources: There are numerous online resources available, but remember that without the skills of a true trainer, you might miss some important steps that help your puppy learn faster and retain information better.

While these resources are valuable, we still highly recommend our Puppy Kindergarten for the best results. Professional trainers can provide personalized guidance and ensure your puppy develops good habits from the start. Trainers often struggle to get a dog to learn proper commands if they have been improperly trained from the start.

At Jones Farm Puppies, our Puppy Kindergarten offers an affordable and effective solution, saving you time and money in the long run. Whether you choose professional training or decide to go the DIY route, the key is to start early and be consistent. Your efforts will pay off, leading to a lifetime of joy with your furry friend.
