Puppy Training may be the answer!
We have partnered with Val Nocito, the owner and trainer at Neshaminy Creek Dog Training, specializing exclusively in puppy foundation training from 8–20 weeks. With over 25 years in the pet industry and a passion for early learning, she has built a program that helps puppies (and clients!) thrive during their most critical window of development.

Bringing home a puppy should be exciting—not overwhelming. That’s why choosing professional puppy training is one of the best decisions you can make!
Whether your schedule is packed with travel, a big life event, or unexpected surprises, it’s perfectly okay to need a little extra help. Maybe you’ve been dreaming about adding a puppy to your family, but the memory of sleepless nights, chewed shoes, or frustrating training setbacks gives you pause. We get it—and you’re not alone.
That’s where our extended puppy training comes in. Val, our trusted trainer, doesn’t just maintain the foundational skills we’ve already started—she strengthens them in a focused, loving, home-based environment. Your puppy continues to thrive while you get to bypass the most exhausting part of the process. It’s like hitting the “easy button” without sacrificing results.
Spots are extremely limited—Val only takes four puppies at a time to ensure personalized care and attention. So don’t wait too long to decide. Give yourself the gift of a well-adjusted, confident puppy and a much smoother transition into puppy parenthood!
Crate Training
Crate training is one of the most valuable tools for helping your puppy feel safe, secure, and well-adjusted in your home. A properly crate-trained puppy sees their crate as a cozy den—not a punishment—which makes bedtime and alone time much smoother for everyone. With continued training, your puppy learns to settle calmly in their crate, reducing nighttime whining, separation anxiety, and potty accidents. Val uses positive, gentle methods to make the crate a positive place, setting your puppy up for success right from the start and helping you avoid sleepless nights and stressful transitions. Avoid the sleepless nights with Val’s continued puppy training before taking your new puppy home.
Loose Leash Walking
Loose leash walking is a game-changer for both you and your puppy. Without it, daily walks can quickly become a battle of pulling, tangling, and frustration. Newfypoos grow big and grow fast! Leash skills are a #1 priority for your safety and your pup’s safety. With Val’s continued training, your puppy learns to walk calmly beside you on a leash—making outings enjoyable, safe, and under control. Whether you’re navigating busy sidewalks or strolling through the park, this foundational skill gives you confidence and strengthens your bond with your pup. It’s not just about obedience—it’s about creating a joyful, connected walking experience from the very beginning.
Basic Manners
Basic manners are the building blocks of a well-behaved dog. Val works daily on commands like “off,” “no,” “relax,” and “leave it” to help puppies learn impulse control, respect boundaries, and understand calm behavior. Good household manners are essential to having a dog in your home that you enjoy. Many times, new puppy parents, don’t know where to start with these commands. These cues are essential for preventing jumping on guests, chewing inappropriate items, or reacting to every new distraction. With consistency and structure, your puppy learns how to respond appropriately in everyday situations—removing the chaos and replacing it with calm. This kind of early guidance creates harmony in your home and sets the stage for long-term success. Val will get them started right!
House Training
Few things are more stressful than house training a puppy. Accidents are frustrating, messy, and discouraging—but with continued training, your puppy stays on track with a reliable routine and clear expectations. We start your puppy on a litter box, which helps them to seamlessly learn to use the outdoors as their go-to place. Val uses proven techniques to help puppies understand where and when to go potty, reinforcing those habits with positive reinforcement and consistency. This means fewer accidents, faster results, and a smoother transition into your home. Each week they are with Val, they are also growing and able to hold their bladder longer and longer. This means fewer potty times in a day when they come home to you. You’ll gain peace of mind knowing your puppy already has a strong foundation—and your floors (and sanity) will thank you.
