Maltipoo Obedience Training Progress Journey

To help you understand your puppy’s progress through our obedience training program, we wanted to put together this article with included weekly progress videos. Training a puppy can be a lot of hard work with dedication and consistency being paramount in her learning.

But seeing the progress is very rewarding knowing she will be well suited for a new home and make the adjustment much easier. As you scroll below, you can follow Angel through her 5 weeks with us as we teach her the commands included in our training program.

Obedience Training Day 1

Angel has begun her obedience training and has caught on quite well with her first day. As we first began to call Angel by her name and get her focus, she was very distracted at everything around and wasn’t yet aware what we were wanting. As we introduced her to treats, it quickly became very easy to get her to look at us (and the treats) and we were able to go through her first session of training.

Obedience Training Week 1

After just 12 sessions of training, Angel has learned to be more focused on her commands. She still gets distracted very easily but we quickly call back her attention with treats and verbal commands to continue her training.

Obedience Training Week 2

At week 2, Angel knew all her commands. She still gets distracted very easily and sometimes is eager to complete a random trick before listening to a command but working with her through the coming weeks will help hone these commands in better.

Obedience Training Week 3

This is the stage that some puppies would graduate from our basic 3-week obedience training. As for Angel, she is enrolled in our more advanced 5-week training so she will be staying with us a few more weeks, but let’s take a look at how she is doing at 3 weeks so you can see the difference in learning between now and when she graduates two weeks from now.

Obedience Training Week 4

Angel is doing fantastic in her training! She knows all the commands and is eager for her treats! We continue to couple treats with positive praise and reinforcement. As Angel grows older, she will grow to be just as excited to obey you as she spends more time bonding with you and seeking your affection.

Angel has Graduated Obedience Training! Week 5

We are so proud of Angel’s progress through our obedience program. She is now ready to head home to her knew family and begin her bond with them. This training program goes a long way in helping your new puppy adjust to a new environment so she can begin her bond with you much sooner!
