Bringing home a new puppy should be exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming.
Potty training, biting, jumping, socialization, leash walking, crate training, and household manners all begin developing during your puppy’s first few months. Without the right guidance, small puppy behaviors can quickly become frustrating adult habits.
At Nexus K9, we believe the first seven months of a dog’s life are among the most important. That is why our Puppy Head Start program begins as early as 10 weeks old and continues through approximately eight months of age.
Because every puppy, family, home, and lifestyle is different, this is not a one-size-fits-all training program. Every Puppy Head Start plan is fully customized around your puppy’s personality, developmental needs, current behaviors, your family’s goals, and the way you want life with your dog to look.
By introducing the right training at the right time—and tailoring that training to your unique needs—we help families throughout Savannah, Pooler, Rincon, Statesboro, and Richmond Hill build stronger relationships with their puppies while preparing them to thrive at home and in the world around them.
A well-trained puppy is not simply a puppy who knows how to sit.
Your puppy needs to learn how to confidently and appropriately experience new people, dogs, places, sounds, surfaces, and environments. They also need clear structure and consistent communication so they understand what is expected of them.
Rather than waiting for problems to develop, we help you build the behaviors and habits you want from the beginning.
You do not have to figure puppy training out on your own.
Throughout the program, our team works closely with both you and your puppy. Because puppies develop quickly, we adjust the training as your puppy grows and becomes ready for more advanced expectations.
The program combines private training sessions with board-and-train experiences. This allows us to coach you through the process while also giving your puppy focused, professional training at our welcoming and structured property.
During the board-and-train portion of the program, we help your puppy develop everything from everyday manners and household structure to reliable on-leash and off-leash obedience.
You will also enjoy access to our boarding and daycare services during the program. These services provide valuable opportunities for your puppy to experience new people, dogs, sounds, routines, and environments in a safe and supervised setting.
Whether you live in Savannah, Pooler, Rincon, Statesboro, Richmond Hill, or a nearby community, our goal is to provide the structure, support, and professional guidance your family needs during these important early months.
With our lifetime support, you will always have an experienced team to help you stay on track. Life changes—such as moving, starting a new job, welcoming a child, or adjusting to a new routine—can affect your dog’s behavior. When challenges arise, simply give us a call, and we will help guide you through them.
We help you establish essential routines and behaviors from the very start:
Our expert trainers focus on mastering key commands, ensuring reliability both on and off the leash.
We emphasize a balanced temperament and respectful behavior, so your puppy feels at ease both at home and in public.
Training starts as early as 10 weeks and continues through the critical developmental stages up to 8 months, ensuring your puppy’s growth is supported every step of the way.
