Why the early months matter.

Your puppy isn’t going to be a puppy for long. In just a few weeks, they’ll grow into the dog you’ll live with for the next 15 years. And what they experience between now and 12 weeks of age shapes almost everything about who that adult dog becomes.

This window is called the critical socialization period. It’s the time when your puppy’s brain is at its most open. Every new sound, smell, person, dog, and environment they meet in a positive way becomes something they’ll handle confidently as an adult. Every one they miss, or meet in a scary way, becomes something they may struggle with for years.

That’s why the work has to happen now, not later. Waiting for your puppy to be “old enough” for training almost always means missing the window that mattered most. Our Puppy Kindergarten program at The Heights is built to make sure your puppy gets those first critical weeks right, with the socialization, structure, and confidence-building they need to grow into the adult dog you imagined. Get in touch with our Heights team to enroll.

What happens in Puppy Kindergarten.

Every day in Puppy Kindergarten is built around one goal: setting your puppy up to become the confident, well-adjusted adult dog you imagined. The world is a lot for a young puppy to take in. Loud streets, unfamiliar dogs, elevators, delivery bags, kids on skateboards. We introduce all of it, safely and gradually, so nothing scares them later.

Through relationship-based training and controlled socialization, your puppy will build real confidence and learn the communication skills they need to move through the world. They’ll also start their basic obedience foundation, working on sit, down, stay, come when called, leave it, drop it, loose-leash walking, and impulse control.

We also work on the puppy behaviors every new dog parent has to navigate: potty training, play biting, jumping, chewing, and leash pulling. Along the way, your puppy will have plenty of opportunity to play with other puppies in a controlled environment.

We have had a wonderful experience with Revival’s West U team. We took our Mini dachsund puppy for training classes and some day care and we will continue to take him for some follow up classes and day care as he matures. They make the process super easy and they really did listen to us when we shared areas we were struggling with. Their trainers are great and Mallory made the logistics super easy for us. We have used day care in other places and the groups were way too big for a tiny dog like Turbo, so we especially love the careful monitoring and pairing of pups.

I love revival! It has been so great for my dog. I have a German shepherd/husky mix that just turned 2 and he is full of energy and sometimes I didn’t know how to handle it, but by bringing him to revival I’ve learned so much from having good walks, and just learning each time more on how to work together to have a better relationship with my dog ☺️!

Revival has been not only an amazing training resource, but also a little family for my high maintenance rescue pup, Harley! She loves her trainer, Bennett, who helps teach the both of us how to manage everyday scaries of the world. Thank you, Revival team and trainer Bennett!

The training, my young dog gets here is phenomenal. After the first day she spent here everyone noticed a difference. The videos that they sent to me show me how to be consistent with how I manage my dog’s behavior so that we are all on the same page. It’s incredibly helpful. I highly highly recommend Revival. Plus they patiently answer all of my questions and consistently figure out what’s going on and give me great advice as to how to manage it.

What an amazing place! I send my 17 month old and 9 year old Golden Retrievers to play for the day each week with all of their furry friends. They both run directly to the entrance of Revival each morning they go and come home happily exhausted. To me, that means they enjoy it. The staff is fantastic, caring and knowledgeable.

I turned to Revival Dog Training when my pandemic puppy had rough time adjusting after the pandemic. He missed his socialization period. The trainers there worked with me and my dog. They were amazing! My dog is now good with other dogs and much better around people! I will keep going there for maintenance and he is also in their doggie daycare, too! I can’t recommend them highly enough and we tried lots of other options! You won’t be disappointed!!

Shibas are notorious for being stubborn and I’m so glad that we enrolled our puppy for 20 days of training at Revival! We initially enrolled our puppy at Petsmart but felt that it wasn’t enough training and tools for our smart little guy. I love the fact that we always received 1-3ish videos of our puppy’s training from that particular day so that we can track his progress! They really care about their reputation and truly care about the dogs and their progress. Thank you again!

My dog Daisy Bell needed to build her confidence around other dogs. The trainers at Revival met Daisy where she was then slowly integrated her into successfully being around other dogs. Now, we can go to the dog park and she can play with other dogs! I also loved the daily videos they shared with specific things to work on with Daisy! I can’t believe I was going to accept the idea that Daisy could not successfully be around other dogs.

Revival dog training has been a great experience for our 4 month old rescue pup. They send us training videos each day that we can use to reinforce skills at home and our pup is so happy to be there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Her loose leash walking and impulsive behaviors have improved. I love that they are reward based and give her lots of treats for her hard work. We will continue to send her to Revival dog training.

Revival is flexible, knowledgeable, and supportive. Ruby has been working with Jess and Ana weekly since November and with their help she has gone from street dog to well adapted and happy household companion! Revival has worked with us since day 1 on flexible and changing goals and has been a favorite part of our team since the very beginning. We’ll be clients for a long time.

The dog you imagined is one call away.

Is your dog older than 5 months?

If your puppy has aged out of Puppy Kindergarten, our Drop-Off Day Training program is the right next step. It’s a drop-off, pick-up program built for older dogs, focused on the behaviors that come with growing up. Reactivity, leash pulling, fear, impulse control, and more.
