Proven professional puppy training services by Mark Siebel, lead puppy trainer
for DOGGIE STEPS Dog Training, LLC. Puppy training classes offered in your home in
one-hour sessions. Typically, a five-session puppy training school will make amazing changes in your
puppy’s behavior. Obedience is a part of the social setting defined for your puppy in your home.
Changes in the setting and how the puppy perceives his position brings about desired behavior changes. All puppy training is done in a loving and caring manner with complete respect for your puppy. Most puppies look forward to our sessions.
*Puppy proofing your home, potty training, teething, and maturity training
are all covered in depth.*
 1. CRATE Potty training will be achieved quicky through the use of a crate. It also will become your dogs “home” or “den”. Most crates come with a metal divider that you can adjust giving JUST enough room for your pup to get up and do a 360 degree turn. I know this sounds a bit small, but you don’t want too much space so the dog eliminates in 1 corner and then sleeps in the other. Put only a chew toy in the crate, NO pee pads or other clothing.
The rule is for EVERY month your dog is, they can hold their bladder for 1 additional hour (2 months + 1 hour = 3 hour hold time). Males traditionally can hold longer than females, but still get in the habit of “potty time” outside in the SAME potty spot every hour. Especially after feeding and naps.
2. FOOD I’d recommend the following: Food to a dog is NO different than food to a human. If humans eat McDonalds every day they will be FAT. Your dog’s bones will grow until approximately 10-12 months, and then the body will fill-out until the age of three. Practice the SIT command before placing the food dish down. Dog must SIT before eating. NO table scraps, ever, no exceptions. Click here for more information on dog food.
EAGLE PACK, CANIDAE, or INNOVA – This food can be found at smaller, specialty feed stores and is exceptional for nutrients and protein for your dog. It costs a bit more, but you feed your dog ½ as much!! I buy ALL my food from Tempe Feed & Tack (University & Hardy in Tempe) and Bone Appetit Bakery (48th & Ray in Ahwatukee).
3. CHEW TOYS You can get most of these at Ryan’s Pet Supplies below:
-
Nylabones
-
KONG (This is a rubber device that you fill with peanut butter or a bone that your dog can chew on when your eating or if in the crate for a prolonged amount of time.)
-
Any type of rubber ball or stronger material ball. Careful of tennis balls. Retrievers like to chew/pull at the yellow lining and actually pull it ALL off the ball and eat it!!

Other Supplies:
- Natures Miracle or a general pet odor remover
- Bitter Apple as a chewing repellant
- Baby wet-wipes to clean up a dirty butt
This is a great head start for you! I look forward to working with you!!
