🐶 Every Wiggle-Butt-Wednesday night Puppy Socialization Classes are the bark of the town held at Doggie Zen Den. Last night these two adorable pups worked on 1-2-3 commands, settling, and reward recognition.

🐾 Our puppy program includes everything needed to have a great family puppy. We will focus on skills and behaviors important to your puppy’s development and to you!

❓Why Us? Our puppy trainers are experts in training family dogs. We go beyond puppy manners like sit, down, stay, and loose leash walking.

💙 We are Fear Free Trainers who use Positive Reinforcement. Our goal did to create a happy, well mannered dog that your family loves to be with at all times.

🏥 We are Veterinarian recommended because we follow the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior guidelines for safe, effective training.

We teach:
Socialization
Play Skills
Enrichment
Housetraining
Crate Training
Manners
Canine Good Citizen
Grooming
Problem Prevention
Service Dog Preparation

🐕‍🦺 We recommend beginning with one private puppy session to help your family build a strong foundation from the start. Your trainer will answer any questions, review your puppy’s routine and home setup, and help with common concerns such as housetraining, biting, chewing, sleep, confinement, and early socialization.

🐩 After the private session, most puppies benefit from joining a group class. Group classes provide guided practice around other puppies and people while helping your puppy learn skills such as attention, settling, polite greetings, and everyday manners. This combination gives your family personalized support first, followed by structured opportunities to practice in a safe, supportive setting. We teach at your place for the first sessions and one of our locations in Plano or Dallas for the group classes. We can’t wait to meet you and your puppy!

❓Did you know? Yesterday was “Spoil Your Dog Day” so we’re sharing a few examples of human food that is also a safe occasional treat for your dogs.

⭐️ Remember to consult your veterinarian for your pet’s allergies before introducing new foods; introduce new treats slowly; and keep portion sizes small. ⭐️

🦮 Some of these natural foods like shredded boiled chicken, blueberries, slices of seedless apples, bananas, carrots, cucumber and seedless watermelon slices can be incorporated in your training routines as special rewards.

🥜 For longer periods of mental stimulation, add plain (No Added Sugar) yogurt or natural peanut butter (No Xylitol Artificial Sweetner) to toys like KONGS or spread into lick mats for longer periods of mental stimulation.

🥕 Cooked eggs, cooked salmon, and boiled chicken can provide a snack rich in protein, while treats like carrots, cucumber and green beans can provide the CrUnCh that dogs love to chew. Pumpkin plain, purée, or cooked is often added to meals to aid in digestion.

🍎 Apple Slices - NO SEEDS
🍗 Boiled Chicken - Lean Protein COOKED ONLY
🥕 Carrots - Low Calories & CrUnChY
🫐 Blueberries - Small Amounts, Good Antioxidants
🎃 Pumpkin - Helps Digestion Plain, Purée, Cooked
🥚 Cooked Eggs - Excellent source of Protein
🍉 Watermelon - Very Hydrating, NO SEEDS
🍌 Bananas - Small Pieces IN MODERATION
🥒 Cucumber - Very Hydrating, Low Calories
🍠 Sweet Potato - Nutritious Cooked & Plain
💚 Green Bean - Small Pieces, Cooked or Raw
🥜 Natural Peanut Butter - CAN’T CONTAIN XYLITOL Artificial Sweetner, High Protein
🍦 Plain Yogurt - NO ADDED SUGAR
🍣 Cooked Salmon - Cooked ONLY, Omega-3s Rich

MEET BROWNIE!

🐾 Will you help us share a spotlight on this sweet 3-6 year old female pit mix who is looking for her furever family?

🤎 Brownie is shy at first meeting new people but her personality shines through once she gets to know you.

👅 She smiles with her entire tongue and she will definitely look at you with those puppy dog eyes.

🦮 She enjoys going on walks and is a champion jumper so a tall fence is a MUST!

📲 Contact us to set up a time to meet with Brownie at Doggie Zen Den.
