Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at lauren@happyhoundsandbeyond.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

When should I start training my puppy?

Start your puppy training right away! Setting up your home before your puppy arrives gives you a big advantage for their transition. Once they’re home, they begin learning habits immediately. Even very young puppies benefit from clear boundaries and communication, and puppies 8 weeks and older can start learning all the essential skills in short, manageable sessions.

Can my puppy become a therapy or service dog?

If your dog is friendly and easygoing, they might be a good fit for therapy work, where they can comfort people in places like hospitals, firehouses, and retirement homes. However, therapy dogs are not service animals. Training a puppy to become a service dog is specifically for individuals with a diagnosed disability—no exceptions.

What is socialization? Someone told me to wait until my dog is vaccinated. Is that right?

Don’t wait! Puppies who miss out on positive socialization before 16 weeks are at a higher risk for fear, anxiety, and aggression—issues that can last a lifetime. Socialization shapes their brain and helps them form positive associations with people, animals, and environments. Start now, even if your puppy is still getting vaccines. Our puppy programs teach you how to socialize safely and effectively, ensuring your puppy has positive experiences that last a lifetime. Plus, I’ll show you simple and enjoyable ways to continue socializing your puppy throughout their life. Socialization is crucial during the first 16 weeks, but it’s an ongoing process for every puppy parent.
