Private Puppy Training for Puppies Under 12 Weeks
You’ve got a tiny, perfect puppy.
Right now, everything is possible.
But let’s be honest, raising a puppy is exhausting.
The sleepless nights. The ankle-biting. The 2am panic of “am I doing this right?”
Here’s the thing: you don’t have to figure this out alone.
What if you had a trainer in your corner right now?
Before things spiral.
Before bad habits form.
Before you’re Googling “why does my dog eat socks” at midnight.
That’s The Start Smart Puppy Program.
Not a quick fix. Not a drop-in class.
A complete roadmap to start raising the dog you’ve been dreaming about, from the very beginning.
FOR PUPPIES UNDER 12 WEEKS OF AGE
Start Smart Puppy Program
WHY TIMING MATTERS
Your Puppy’s Filing Cabinet Is Wide Open
If you imagine your dog’s brain as a filing cabinet, right now all the drawers are wide open. And when those drawers are open, information goes in easily. Your puppy is filing away how the world works. Whether new things are exciting or scary. Whether people are safe. Whether being alone is fine or terrifying.
After 16 weeks? The drawers start closing. Your puppy’s still learning, but now we have to pry the drawers open to get new information about the world in. It takes more work, more repetition, more patience to add new information or change what’s already been filed.
Start Smart takes advantage of this unique window to help you fill those drawers with positive experiences.
The program focuses on:
- Teaching you how to manage the nipping and jumping before Grandma gets knocked down
- Building a housebreaking routine that works for you and your puppy
- Helping your puppy learn to be comfortable in the crate
- Playing with your puppy in ways that teach them learning is fun
- Filling those open drawers with wonderful experiences about the world
- Laying the foundation for the relationship you’ll build as they grow
- Problem-solving the things that matter most to you right now
This program is the first step in you and your puppy’s training journey. It gives you the tools and foundation to build on as your puppy grows.

What Are People Saying About RCA?
This program was worth the time and money and has drastically improved the life of our dog and our family.
Alisson explains everything so it's easy to understand what we were doing wrong and what we need to change.
I rescued a Pitbull mix named Valor who was afraid of EVERYTHING. Because of this, she struggled to find a permanent home.(I was her 4th attempt). Working with the RCA, my dog has gotten over her fears and anxiety. Valor loves going to school at the RCA! Watching her grow and blossom into a confident dog has been a wonderful experience.
When we found RCA we were at a point where we thought we might have to give our dog up. We’re strongly committed to rescue dogs and the idea of ever giving a dog back was something we swore we would never,ever do. Nothing we had done ourselves had made any difference. Alisson has made ALL the difference. She shares her knowledge in a clear and non-judgemental way. She’s a life changer! Thank you Alisson!!!
