Training a puppy as a beginner can seem daunting, where exactly are you supposed to start training your puppy? Don’t worry, Zigzag is here to help you take you and your puppy training from zero to hero.

We’re here to give you all the professional tips and tricks you’ll need, so that puppy training for beginners goes easy.

Puppies are like little sponges and those first few months they are home with you, they have a lot to learn about life and how to behave in a human world.

You’ll be teaching them about potty training, how to sleep through the night, in a crate if you choose to, stop them biting everything in sight, and also those all important socialization skills. 

Maybe you’ll be introducing your puppy to cats, other dogs, or children, we have it all laid out for you with checklists and guides, so you have everything you need to train your puppy.

Whether you have a puppy from a shelter or from a breeder, they’re not quite home with you yet, just home, or you’ve had them home for a while, we have a program that’s tailored for you, and best of all – we also created our programs based around all of those breed quirks, because we understand each breed is unique and different.
