Puppy Potential | Trusted Puppy Training in SW Calgary

Program Overview:

Puppy Potential is a comprehensive puppy training and socialization program in SW Calgary. This course helps you and your puppy build a solid foundation of trust, emotional regulation, social skills, and essential life lessons as you begin your life together.

Over six weeks, our experienced puppy coaches will guide your puppy’s development — helping them make new friends, explore the world with confidence, learn basic obedience and manners, and begin building healthy emotional habits.

And because growing up comes with some bumps, we’ll also support you through common challenges like chewing, stealing things (like your favorite sneakers) biting, house training conundrums, and those chaotic puppy “witching hours.”

What You’ll Learn:

Socialization
A deep-dive into the art of healthy socialization (our specialty). This includes understanding personal space, “reading the room,” and engaging with puppies of various sizes, temperaments, and play styles. Your puppy will build vital social skills like consent, mirroring, and managing excitement.

Basic Obedience (in Real Life)
A dynamic, hands-on learning experience where you and your puppy practice skills while navigating real interactions. You’ll work on cues like sit, go behind, relax on a mat, drop, and follow me. We’ll also cover leash walking, recall, and practical handling routines (collars, paws, grooming, etc.).

Bite Inhibition
An essential skill for every puppy. Your dog will learn how to use their mouth safely and gently with both humans and other dogs.

Manners & Problem Prevention
Your puppy will learn to interact calmly and respectfully with others. You’ll also gain the insight to prevent bigger issues before they begin—things like resource guarding, excessive barking, fast eating, and more. We go way beyond the basics with nuanced guidance you won’t find in a book or online.

Confidence Building & Enrichment
A confident puppy is a calm, resilient puppy (this is our mantra)! Throughout the program, your puppy will learn how to explore new things, face small challenges, and grow their problem-solving skills. All of this builds real-world confidence and trust in you as their person.

Program Benefits:

Real Puppies. Real Potential.

“We’re just wrapping up our 6-week course with Cat from ImPAWSible Possible, and it’s been fantastic. Cat was recommended to us through AARCS, and she’s provided so much valuable support—not just in class, but also with specific puppy behaviour challenges along the way.

She has a unique and deeply informed understanding of dog behaviour, and her calm, natural approach creates a safe, positive space where dogs are eager to learn. You can tell she truly understands and respects each dog as an individual.

Highly recommend Cat to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective training. Much appreciated, Cat—love, Coco 🐶.”
