Puppy Training in Lewes—Foundations That Last
Puppies learn fast when lessons are short, fun, and consistent. Our puppy training Lewes options include interactive live instruction (with feedback and Q&A) and flexible, self-paced learning supported by step-by-step guidance. What we cover: house-training routines, crate comfort, chewing/nipping prevention, socialization basics, name response, leash skills, recalls, and confidence building so your puppy learns to settle, rest, and focus around everyday distractions. If you’re comparing puppy training classes Lewes, choose the format that matches your family’s routine—then keep skills going at home with simple homework.
From over-arousal to worry around people or dogs, we build plans that emphasize management, enrichment, and stepwise training (e.g., counter-conditioning, desensitization) so your dog can learn under threshold. You’ll also access a robust online resource hub that you can revisit any time—so coaching continues between sessions. For dogs who struggle with reactivity, over-arousal, or worry around people/dogs, we use Best Practices Dog Training™ rooted in LIMA—Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive. That means management first (so your dog can succeed), then foundation skills (engagement, settling, handler mechanics), and carefully staged exposure using desensitization and counter-conditioning so your dog can learn under threshold. If you’re looking for a certified dog trainer in Lewes for behavior change, we’ll show you exactly how to practice safely between sessions.
Our certified trainers begin with a comprehensive behavioral assessment of your dog’s behavior, environment, and history. From there, we create a step-by-step behavior plan tailored to your dog’s unique needs which may include house calls, group classes, and/or virtual private lessons.
