Dog Training
At Mable’s Mission, we know that only 10% of dogs remain in their first home, a heartbreaking statistic that drives so many into the shelter system. By offering early-life puppy training services, our goal is to help families build strong foundations with their dogs from the very beginning. With proper socialization, confidence-building, and positive reinforcement, we can mold better canine companions and, in turn, help increase the number of dogs who stay in their forever homes.
Services
Puppy Foundation Training
(up to 12 Weeks)
The first 12 weeks are a critical period in your puppy’s development. During this time, experiences shape how your dog will see the world for the rest of their life.
We offer structured, positive in-home and outing training to help your puppy:
-
Build confidence at home and in new environments
-
Safely experience new people, places, and sounds
-
Start learning healthy routines and habits
-
Develop the foundation for future training success
Every session focuses on positive reinforcement, making learning fun, rewarding, and confidence-boosting.
Socialization & Confidence Training
(16-24 Weeks)
Between 12 and 24 weeks, puppies enter a sensitive period where fears and anxieties can form if not addressed correctly. That’s why we focus on guided socialization combined with counter-conditioning and desensitization (CC/DS) methods.
Our approach helps puppies:
-
Learn calm, positive responses to new situations
-
Build resilience in public settings and around other dogs
-
Overcome early signs of fear or reactivity
-
Grow into well-adjusted, happy companions
By reinforcing good experiences and creating positive associations, we set your puppy up to thrive, not just survive.
Packages
We offer flexible packages for both services designed to fit your puppy’s needs while keeping training affordable.
