Common questions

Questions we hear a lot.

Puppy training works best when owners know what to practice between sessions. These answers cover when to begin and what to do when normal puppy behavior already feels difficult.

Why does a puppy schedule matter?

A consistent puppy schedule makes potty breaks, meals, crate time, play, rest, and short training sessions more predictable. The American Kennel Club’s guide to setting a puppy schedule also recommends establishing a routine early so your puppy knows what to expect. Tell Robert which parts of your puppy’s routine are causing difficulty so he can consider them when recommending the next step.

How young can my puppy start?

Many puppies can begin foundational training around 8 weeks, depending on their health, vaccination guidance, and the training environment. Early work can focus on routines, handling, engagement, and short age-appropriate skills. Follow your veterinarian’s guidance for public exposure.

My puppy is already nippy and wild. Is it too late?

No. Nipping, grabbing clothes, jumping, and bursts of wild energy are common reasons owners seek puppy training. Ironwood can help you build clearer routines, reinforce calmer choices, and give your puppy appropriate ways to play and engage.
