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 The RCA?
Alisson was a life-saver with our dog! We couldn’t open a door without our puppy dashing away as fast as possible. She even got on the school bus, much to our middle schooler’s dismay. She can now go anywhere with us and can even be off-leash around our house to run and play with the kids. Thanks Alisson for making such a difference.
Alisson is amazing! She gave me the knowledge and confidence to interact with my own pup. Mr. Fenton is so well behaved we get compliments every time we are out in public.
A well-trained dog paired with an informed owner makes for a great relationship, and my relationship with my dog improved greatly after Alisson's guidance. You'll thank yourself after hiring her because you'll enjoy your time with your pet SO much more when you are both speaking the same language. Her services are strongly recommended.
We have taken two adult dogs to RCA and old dogs CAN be taught new tricks! Thanks the gods we found Allison!
