puppy training
A puppy Training class for pups and their owners!
We are the Minneapolis puppy experts! We’ve helped develop countless puppies into fantastic dogs. With Puppy Preschool, you and your puppy get to learn from the best! Each week our Puppy Guru, Sydney, will go over different puppy topics that new puppy parents will find valuable!
This course is designed to teach you the real life skills you want your puppy to know — potty training, puppy nipping, and preventing unwanted behaviors like resource guarding and separation anxiety and FAST. The course is only 4 weeks long, so easy to fit into your busy scheduled! But, these certainly aren’t the only things you want to teach your puppy, so if you want to learn basic obedience, check out Metro Pups 101!
We’re committed to providing a safe, clean, and fun outlet for puppy learning. What does this mean to us?
Safety: Our team is highly trained in dog behavior and body language, and we only utilize positive reinforcement, fear and force-free techniques when handling your pups. We’ll help the pups to appropriately interact with the environment and teach you how to do the same!
Cleanliness: Metro Dogs utilizes a Fear Free certified cleaner, called Rescue. Rescue is highly effective against common puppy pathogens like Parvovirus. It’s also super safe for dogs and humans.
Fun: There’s no doubt about it, fun is the best way to reinforce learning!! Get all that energy out of their wiggly, puppy bodies! Not to mention making some new best friends, dogs and people alike!

Puppy Socialization is Important!
Puppies that experience positive, safe, and fun interactions during their key developmental stages will blossom into more well rounded adult dogs. Their interactions as a puppy can help develop skills like playing with other dogs, meeting new people, basic obedience and training skills, and experience novel surfaces, objects, and environments! Proper puppy training can help lay the foundation for a great dog.

➩ Dog Body Language: How Do We Communicate with Our Puppy?
➩ Puppy Antics: How to Navigate Play Biting / Teething, Jumping, and Intro to Leash Management
➩ Back to the Basics: Potty Training, Crate Training, Recall
➩ Resource Guarding and Separation Anxiety: Grr that’s mine …. wait, where are you going?!
➩ Cooperative Care: Helping Your Puppy Feel Comfortable During Vet Visits and Grooming
Meet the Trainers
Sydney (she/her)
Sydney has been working with dogs since 2017, but she has always had an affinity for animals for as long as she can remember! She has spent the last three years exclusively pursuing her love for dog training. This transition helped spark her passion for not only teaching, but also helping create a healthy bond between dogs and their pet parent!
Sydney is currently in the process of earning her degree in behavioral psychology and plans to continue her educational journey within the dog training community, as well. Sydney believes that it is critical to keep current on the ever-changing science and techniques used within the dog industry in order to best set pet parents up for success.
As an advocate for science-based methodologies, Sydney uses positive reinforcement and Fear Free based approaches while training. She has had so much fun putting these practices to use while participating in Metro Dogs Trick of the Month program, and she’s so happy that she gets to share these ideals while teaching the Puppy Basics in the Social Classroom and the Trick Training class!
Sydney believes that training should be fun for all involved, and nothing makes her happier than seeing pet parents and their animal companions succeed!
