Introducing Sully! At 12 weeks old, this puppy is keeping his family on their toes. Like many young dogs, he’s still learning where the bathroom is and isn’t — so we’re focusing on crate training, house training, and building strong puppy basics early.

Sully shares his home with his new older brother, Tucker, a 14-year-old poodle mix. Sully is very eager to initiate play with Tucker, who as a senior dog, is less eager. Part of our training includes helping Sully learn how to settle, understand Tucker’s space, and develop calm behavior inside his home.

He’s a sweet, smart puppy who’s well on his way to becoming a very polite boy! And like another well known Sully, we wanted to give him a tagline. How’s “Our miracle on the sofa cushions?”

This Wednesday we had our first private lesson with Rosie, a Havanese puppy. She’s 12 weeks old, weighs just 4 pounds, and is learning her puppy basics. It’s safe to say she’s already off to a great start!

Congratulations to the first day school graduate of 2026! Alfie is a 6 month old Italian Greyhound who needed some help with crate and house training as well as leash skills. We also worked on desensitization to paw handling as he has already shown an aversion to his nails being trimmed. Bravo Alfie!

When Josie started, walks were a real challenge. She pulled on the leash and barked at every person and dog she passed.

Now, she’s steady, focused, and walks with confidence. Her progress has been incredible, and the difference shows every time she steps outside.

Great work, Josie. Congratulations on your Day School graduation!

Huge congratulations to the incredible Tru, an 8-month-old American Bulldog, on graduating from Polite Dog School! 🎓 When Tru started, we focused on her reactivity around other dogs and perfecting her leash skills. Now, look at her – a truly Polite Dog! We’re thrilled with her progress.

The fleeting but perfect weather conditions we get this time of year always make us want to spend as much time as possible outside, and in our case today, playing lots of fetch out in the sunshine on the bright green grass, completely tiring out our happy dog nephew, Buddy. Enjoy the spring temps this weekend!

Meet Rocky! This happy, energetic boxers puppy’s parents knew early training was key to a well-adjusted dog. We’ve been working on everything from polite greetings (no more jumping) and calm behavior around people, to building confidence during alone time. It may seem obvious but it bears repeating: Investing in early training sets puppies up for success.
