Dog training is not just about teaching your pup to sit or stay; it's about preparing them for a lifetime of experiences. One crucial aspect of this preparation is acclimating puppies to handling, especially when it comes to grooming and veterinary care. Regular activities such as grinding and clipping nails, brushing out matted hair, checking teeth, expressing a**l glands, and monitoring ears for infections are essential for a dog's health and comfort. Without early exposure, these routine procedures can become stressful events, potentially requiring sedation or, in severe cases, leading to behavioral issues.

At Fidelio Dog Works, our comprehensive puppy programs emphasize early desensitization and training, ensuring your puppy perceives these procedures as a normal part of life. Whether through one-on-one sessions, board and train programs, or day training, we equip both you and your furry friend with the knowledge and skills to handle these situations confidently. Our goal is to be a lifelong partner in your dog's journey, adding value to your family's experience. Ready to start this journey with your puppy? Reach out to us and let’s work together for a healthier, happier life for your dog. Oh! And good boy, Moby! Good boy!
