A training club for pups

The early months of your puppy’s life are everything - because this is when you shape who your dog will be.

The Pup Pack is our premium membership program for puppies 3 to 6 months old, designed to build obedience, confidence, and structure before bad habits ever take root.

We offer real structure, real results, and a training plan that grows with your dog - all led by experienced handlers who specialize in early development.

    • Puppies 3–6 months old only

    • Owners who want calm, confident, well-mannered dogs

    • Families ready for expert structure—not guesswork

    • Anyone who wants a consistent training path that actually works

    All training takes place at our Jersey City Heights facility

What puppyhood can look like.

3 months

Early Development Phase
(12 - 16 weeks)

Puppies are curious but sensitive right now. Everything feels new, fear periods pop up, and their energy rises while their attention span stays tiny. Teething begins, and they start lightly testing boundaries.

4 months

Emerging Confidence Phase
(16 - 20 weeks)

Confidence grows and so does selective listening. Puppies become more aware of their surroundings, which can make them more alert or nosy. Mouthing and pushy behaviors increase as teething peaks.

5 months

Pre-Adolescent Phase
(20 - 24 weeks)

The teenage phase kicks in. Hormones start influencing behavior, and puppies develop stronger opinions about people, dogs, and new situations. Stubbornness appears, and chewing becomes more boredom-driven.

6 months

Adolescent Phase
(24 - 28 weeks)

Full adolescence hits. Puppies feel bolder and more independent, and habits - good or bad - start cementing. You may see more pulling, barking, guarding, or overexcitement if structure hasn’t been clear.
