Course Summary -
Bringing a puppy into your home is one of the most exciting decisions you'll make. They are cute and fun.
Dearest Puppy Parent,
You are about to embark upon the most exciting and joyful chapter of your life with your new puppy.
After YEARS of coaching new puppy parents, I've seen it all.
Parents calling me up... "How do I get my puppy to sleep through the night..."
"My kids are scared of my puppy..."
"How do I socialize my puppy when there are not fully vaccinated..."
"Help I have to go back to work and I don't know what to do with my puppy.."
"How do I get my puppy to sleep through the night..." "I had no idea how hard it was going to be to raise a puppy..."
Did you know?
Most problem behaviors start
during the first 10 months of a dog's life!
What is the cost of not getting it right the first time around?
- Socialization done wrong can lead to reactivity, aggression and anxiety later on.
- Potty training done wrong can result in lifelong accidents inside.
- Behaviours such as stealing socks or shoes can lead to resource guarding
- Puppy nipping can become an ingrained habit that works for creating space
- Not starting with training the right way will make any future training harder and more time-consuming
Here is a small taste of what you will learn in the next 8 weeks...
How to implement a daily schedule and routine
Fast and easy potty training How to set up a effective training schedule

Wanted to send a thank you to Sylvia for all her help and guidance with us adapting to our puppy and our puppy to us! It has certainly been a learning curve as 1st time pet owners!!

I really like this format of instruction with an instructor online. I learned much more than taking my puppy to a class. I was able to concentrate and love the personalization.

Meet Sylvia Koczerzuk
Sylvia is a Professional Dog Trainer and Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant who helps dogs and their guardians create calmer, more connected lives through humane, science-based training.
Long before there were as many formal schools, certificates, and degree pathways available in dog behaviour, Sylvia was already committed to learning. Her early education came from following and learning from veterinary behaviourists, applied animal behaviourists, and other respected professionals whose work helped shape her understanding of dogs, behaviour, and humane training.
She attended the SF SPCA Dog Training Academy and studied at Behaviour Works with Dr. Susan Friedman in Living and Learning with Animals. Sylvia is also a Fear Free Certified Professional and has completed further education and certifications in scentwork enrichment, canine reactivity, separation anxiety, Dynamic Dog (gait and posture assessment), canine arthritis, and pain-informed learning. Most recently, she is completing her clinical canine behaviour degree (an internationally OFQUAL-qualified CBC).
Sylvia has been helping animals and their people since 1989. Over the years, she has worked in veterinary hospitals, shelters, rescues, a farm sanctuary, and private practice. Her work has included dog walking, grooming, group classes, private training, virtual coaching, and behaviour consulting. She also travelled south to assist Hurricane Katrina animal survivors.
What Sylvia loves most is helping people better understand their dogs and showing them how small, thoughtful changes can lead to meaningful progress. She knows that behaviour is not just about training. It is shaped by health, environment, learning history, emotions, and the unique dog in front of you.
That is why Sylvia takes a whole-dog, whole-picture approach. She combines assessment, behaviour knowledge, and practical coaching to help guardians move forward in a way that feels clear, positive, and achievable.
If you are ready to better understand your dog, build confidence together, and create real-life results, Sylvia would love to help.
