Why Families Choose Our Puppy Training Program

Puppy biting, jumping and difficulty settling can be part of growing up, but the right plan depends on your puppy and your household. Our trainers help families across Indianapolis, Lawrence, McCordsville, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville and Fishers turn training goals into everyday practice.

  • Build focus and calm routines in manageable steps.
  • Practice clear cues and consistent responses as a family.
  • Work on mouthing, greetings and leash skills at your puppy's pace.
  • Learn what to practice between lessons and review progress with your trainer.

Training can help build useful habits, but every puppy progresses differently. If behavior changes suddenly, or you notice pain, marked fear or bites causing injury, contact your veterinarian and tell us before scheduling.

What Your Puppy Will Learn (In Real Life, Not Just on Paper)

Focus and Engagement

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

Manners Around the House

We work on puppy mouthing, jumping, door manners and appropriate ways to ask for attention. You learn how to manage the setup and reward the behavior you want at home.

Better Walks, Even for Young Puppies

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

Building Calm Behaviors

We practice going to a place, settling and waiting for short periods, with breaks and rewards appropriate to your puppy. The aim is to make calm choices easier to repeat during everyday routines.

Confidence and Socialization

We help you introduce new sounds, surfaces, people and environments gradually, at a distance and pace your puppy can handle. Socialization includes feeling comfortable around things without needing to greet everyone. Ask your veterinarian about vaccination and local disease precautions before outings.

Potty Training and Routine

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.

A Look Into Real Puppy Lessons

These clips show examples of puppy practice. Our training sessions focus on skills you can continue with your puppy between lessons.

  • Notice how the handler gets the puppy's attention.
  • Watch the timing of cues and rewards.
  • Look for short, manageable steps rather than a fixed result timeline.
  • Ask your trainer how to adapt practice to your own puppy.

Each puppy and household is different. A clip is an example of practice, not a promise of the same outcome or speed.

Your Next Steps for Puppy Training

Prepare for Your Consultation

Tell us your puppy's age, daily routine and the behaviors you want help with. Mention any fear, guarding or bites so we can discuss an appropriate individual plan.

Practice Between Lessons

Keep practice short and manageable. Use the cues and rewards your trainer shows you, involve the people who care for your puppy, and note what becomes easier or needs more help.

Choose the Right Training Setting

Big N Small Paws offers in-facility private training, in-home options and Board & Train programs. Your consultation helps identify a suitable option, eligibility and scheduling. We do not offer group puppy classes.

Puppy Training Indianapolis – FAQ

When should we start?

Start with simple, reward-based practice at home as your puppy settles in. Puppies are learning from their early experiences, so introduce new things gradually and avoid overwhelming them. Your veterinarian can advise on vaccination and disease precautions; our team confirms eligibility before arranging a program.

Will you come to our home?

Yes. In-home training is available across Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, Lawrence and McCordsville. In-facility private lessons are another option at 4841 Industrial Pkwy, Indianapolis, IN 46226. We discuss the setting and confirm scheduling with you.

How fast will my puppy learn?

Progress depends on your puppy, the skills being taught and consistent practice between lessons. Your trainer will set practical goals with you and review progress as you work together. We do not guarantee results or a fixed training timeline.

Do you offer Board and Train for young puppies?

We offer Board & Train programs. Suitability for a young puppy depends on age, health, vaccination requirements and training goals. Discuss these with our team before choosing or purchasing a program.
