Big N Small Paws 317 offers personalized puppy training in Indianapolis, serving families in Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, Lawrence and the Eastside ZIP codes 46226 and 46235. We help puppies build focus, manners, confidence and early obedience using simple, practical training that fits real homes and busy routines.

When your puppy is jumping, biting, dragging you on walks or struggling to focus, it's easy to think something is "wrong." Nothing is wrong — they just need direction, structure, and a little help learning how to slow down.
Our trainers work with puppies across Indianapolis, Lawrence, 46226, 46235, McCordsville, Carmel and Westfield, and one thing is always true: Puppies learn best when training fits real life.

We don't rush them.
We don't overwhelm them.

We build skills the right way:

• Helping hyper puppies settle
• Teaching them how to look to you for direction
• Preventing future behavior issues before they start
• Giving new dog parents confidence and clarity

Most families tell us they feel relief after the very first lesson — because we show them exactly what to do and why it works.

We teach your puppy how to pay attention to you, even when everything around them feels new and exciting.

Jumping, biting, door rushing, crying for attention — we work on all the "day to day" things that matter most inside your home.

We introduce loose leash walking early so your puppy learns not to pull, drag or zig-zag.

Place training, settling, holding positions — this is the secret to helping puppies slow down their brains.

New sounds, new textures, new environments — we safely introduce it all so your puppy grows into a confident, stable adult dog.

We help you figure out a schedule that actually works and keeps your puppy successful.
Nothing we teach is complicated. We focus on habits your puppy will use for the rest of their life.

our home, neighborhood and lifestyle matter.
That's why our training adjusts depending on where you live.

• Indianapolis
  
• Carmel
• Westfield

• The difference in behavior even after one or two sessions
• Simple steps you can practice right away

We don't teach perfect.

We teach progress — the kind that sticks.

"We were exhausted before training. Now our puppy has structure and actually listens. Best decision we made."

"We were nervous bringing home a puppy for the first time. Big N Small Paws made everything clear and practical."
