Puppy Milestones, Week by Week
Eight-week-old puppies and five-month-old teenagers need different things. The early weeks are about sleep, potty timing and gentle handling. Later months add leash walks, polite greetings and a recall. Knowing the stage helps you decide what to practice and when to ask a trainer for help.
Puppy portraits
Small dogs, big learning
Puppies absorb a lot in a few short sessions. These faces are what you are working toward: curious, relaxed and ready to try.

Help for Every Puppy Stage
Six guides, from a single private lesson to a stay for older young dogs. Every option here centers on individual attention for your puppy.
Private Puppy Lessons
A private puppy lesson is a short one-on-one session where a trainer coaches you through the most urgent routines.
$75 to $150 per lessonRead the guide →
Puppy Packages
A puppy package strings a few short visits together so each routine builds on the last.
$150 to $350 per lesson packageRead the guide →
In-Home Puppy Training
A young puppy often has not finished vaccines, so lessons at home keep things safe and let the trainer see the spots where trouble happens.
$100 to $200 per lessonRead the guide →
Puppy to Adult Obedience
Around five or six months, many puppies hit an awkward stage: bigger, faster and more distractible.
$500 to $1,200 per packageRead the guide →
Puppy Behavior Help
Most puppy trouble is normal: mouthing, barking and whining happen with nearly every young dog.
$600 to $1,800 per programRead the guide →
Young-Dog Stays
A stay with a trainer is usually aimed at adolescent dogs, not tiny puppies, and only with veterinarian approval.
$1,500 to $2,500+ for a 2 to 3 week stayRead the guide →Planning estimates only. Prices shift with the trainer, the puppy and the market.
Why this guide
For the first-timer with a new puppy
New puppy owners get a flood of advice. This guide sticks to the basics: the stages of puppyhood, the routines that matter and what one-on-one help generally costs.
City pages point out local factors such as heat, storms, parks and housing styles, taken from public information rather than ads.

Good questions
Before you begin.
When can puppy training begin?
Home routines can start the day your puppy arrives. Public outings wait for your veterinarian's go-ahead.
How much does puppy help cost in Miami?
Expect about $75 to $150 for one private lesson and $150 to $350 for a short package. Trainers set their own fees.
Can I sign up for lessons here?
Not yet. There is no sign-up, and requests are not open.
How do I house-train in an apartment?
Pick one spot, such as a patio mat or a trip outside, go at regular times and reward quickly.
How do I handle summer heat with a puppy?
Walk early or late, test the ground with your hand and bring water. Play indoors when it is hot.
What about thunderstorms?
Create a quiet hideaway and reward calm behavior. If fear is strong, ask your veterinarian.
