Start with the puppy basics
The First Months Set the Pattern
A puppy learns from every hour of the day, not only during lessons. These guides cover the building blocks that matter most, what each one usually costs, and what to ask a trainer before you pay for anything.
Month by month

About this guide
A puppy guide, not a sales pitch.
This guide was built for people with a new puppy and a lot of questions. It explains the early basics, what lessons usually cost and how to tell a thoughtful trainer from a pushy one.
Town pages add practical notes drawn from public sources: main roads, parks, trails and the way desert weather changes the day. They contain no reviews and no ads.

Good questions
Before you begin.
How much does puppy training cost around Las Vegas?
General estimates run about $75 to $150 for a private lesson and $150 to $350 for a puppy package. Trainers set their own prices.
Can I request a trainer through this site?
Not yet. Nobody is taking requests from this site, and there is no form. The notice pages explain where things stand.
When should puppy lessons begin?
Once your puppy is settled at home and your veterinarian is comfortable with outings. Home lessons can start sooner.
How do I walk a puppy safely in summer?
Go out at dawn or after sunset, test the ground with the back of your hand, carry water and stop if your puppy slows down or pants heavily.
How do I choose a trainer?
Ask how they teach, what a lesson looks like, what is included in the price and how they handle setbacks. Favor patient, reward-based methods.
Is crate training safe in a hot climate?
Yes, when the crate sits in a cool, shaded room and the puppy is never left too long. Never put a crate in direct sun or a garage.
