About Furst Steps: Puppy Education, Training & Socialization
Furst Steps is here to teach and guide puppies & pet owners through the tough stages of puppyhood by providing services and a helping hand regarding proper nutrition, chews/treats, toys, training, socialization, and more. Our training programs are science-based, positive focused and taught by a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). Socialization is so much more than just meeting new people and other dogs and we want to help show you why it makes a difference. We incorporate your puppy’s five senses into our program before, during and after their Critical Socialization Period to help ensure they will be well-socialized & well-rounded dogs. We are here to give your puppy positive, enriching, and exciting experiences.

They are hands down the best. They care about the dogs, are super upfront, honest and very trustworthy. It’s clear to me, my dog would give them more than 5 stars if he could. If I even mention daycare as I’m getting ready for work I literally can’t move fast enough without him telling me to get him in the car faster to go. He absolutely loves it here! Highly recommend.
Furst Steps is the best! Alex has done an unbelievable job with our boxer puppy. Eli was a nervous puppy, hesitant to go the first day. Now wakes up every morning and goes straight to garage door hoping he’s going to Furst Steps. We are so thankful for everything Alex and her staff have done with him We will be regulars for years to come

There is no end to the amazing things I can say about this business. My lab mix puppy was quick to pick up things I was teaching her, but also quick to forget, despite my best efforts. After she started furst grade, she is retaining training and comes home happy and exhausted every Tuesday and Thursday. Alex and Jay are incredible. Alex helps me understand why we're doing what we are and how it helps my puppy understand and learn. Jay is always friendly and helpful and great with the pups. The facility is clean and well thought out. I could go on for days. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone who has a dog - puppy or not. When my puppy has graduated furst grade, I plan on keeping her with Furst Steps for doggy day care. She absolutely loves it there and I don't blame her. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Everything about Furst Steps (the facility, owners, and the training) has been phenomenal. We are first-time puppy owners without a clue of what to do, and Alex has guided both us and our dog in setting a very solid foundation. To us, it is well worth the investment for a well-socialized dog we will have in our family for the next decade+. We plan on returning for daycare as our pup grows. Thank you, Alex and Jay!
