“When puppy hood got overwhelming, Leah and Monterey Dog were there for every moment.”
Puppy Hood Expert
The Puppy Hood phase is no match for Monterey Dog! Leah’s firsthand experience raising her own puppies, combined with her work at the Calgary Humane Society during a 203% surge in puppy intakes, makes her an expert in all things puppy. From managing the infamous teething “piranha phase” to navigating the chaos of puppy playtime, Monterey Dog is here to guide you through this wild and wonderful chapter of life.
Puppy Care Package
Monterey Dog assist with potty training, including regular outdoor potty breaks or pee pad training, ensuring accidents are minimal while building positive habits. We’ll change out soiled pee pads and keep their environment clean and inviting. Enrichment is a big part of our care, with activities like creating obstacle courses to build confidence and coordination, or introducing your puppy to new textures, objects, and sounds—such as rough carpets, uneven ground, or crinkly toys — with the goal of fostering health socialization and curiosity.
With a thoughtful and engaging approach, your puppy will grow into a confident, happy, and well-adjusted companion, all while feeling safe and cared for in capable hands.

Puppy Coaching
Feeling lost, unsure of what you're doing, and overwhelmed?

If you're looking for guidance with your puppy, you've come to the right place. We've all been there. Puppies aren't easy — each one has its own personality, preferences, and energy levels, and they can seem fragile, even with razor-sharp teeth!
