Unleashing the Secret: Where to Buy Trained Dogs for Stress-Free Puppy Ownership

Andy

Are you dreaming of a furry companion who is already well-behaved, obedient, and ready to fill your life with love? Look no further! In this guide, we'll unravel the mystery surrounding trained dogs and show you the best places to find these incredible four-legged gems. Whether you're a first-time dog owner or seeking to expand your pack, prepare to be amazed by the possibilities that lie ahead.


The Art of Training


A well-trained dog is a true joy to have as a companion. Dogs that have undergone professional training exhibit exceptional behavior, understand basic commands, and possess social skills that can make your life a whole lot easier. When you buy a trained dog, you're saving yourself the time and effort required to train a puppy from scratch.


The What and How of Trained Dogs


What are trained dogs, you ask? Trained dogs are typically puppies, young dogs, or adult dogs that have undergone specialized training programs designed to instill good behavior, obedience, and basic commands. These programs are facilitated by professional trainers who use positive reinforcement techniques to teach dogs the skills they need to become well-mannered and adaptable members of your family.


How are dogs trained? The training process involves a combination of consistent positive reinforcement, clear communication, and reward-based methods. Trainers use a variety of techniques to shape desirable behaviors, such as food rewards, and praise. Patience, consistency, and love are at the core of successful training programs.

Where to Find Trained Dogs

  1. Reputable Breeders: responsible breeders invest time and effort into starting to train their puppies before they find their forever homes. These breeders understand the value of early socialization and basic obedience training, ensuring that their pups are well-prepared for their new families. It is never a guarantee though and often difficult to do to a good standard when trying to train a full litter of young puppies.

  2. Rescue Organizations: Believe it or not, some rescue organizations offer trained dogs. These organizations often have dedicated trainers who work with rescue dogs to address behavioral issues and prepare them for adoption. By adopting a trained dog from a rescue organization, you're not only giving a deserving dog a second chance at a happy life but also gaining a companion who has already learned valuable skills.

  3. Professional Dog Training Centers: Many specialized dog training centers, such as Puppy Steps Puppy Training, have programs designed to produce well-trained dogs for sale. These centers employ experienced trainers who work closely with dogs to ensure they master basic obedience, socialization, and manners.


Meet the Gregg family:


We had a bad experience with a rescue dog some years ago our family waited a long time to commit to another dog. I spent hours researching about differing breeds and puppies, it felt like a minefield to find the right puppy from a reputable breeder.

I had been following 'Puppy steps' on Facebook for over a year and after reading the reviews on the website, I knew the service Andy offered would help us navigate not only finding the right pup but supporting us as we took our first step into raising him.

Andy has been professional throughout, he has been at the end of the phone from first contact, to taking our pup 'Eddie' home and beyond. We were able to visit Eddie during his training period with Andy and he has been full of knowledge and advice to help us bond and continue Eddie's training.


Eddie is calm and confident, he is not obsessed with greeting other dogs, he is crate trained and was pretty much house trained from arriving home. I feel confident Andy has enabled us to give Eddie the best start we could possibly have had.

The only complaint the family have is that Eddie is already the favourite child!!


Frequently Asked Questions


FAQ 1: Are trained dogs suitable for families with children?

What our clients say

Trained Labrador Puppy. Black Labrador puppy which is a trained dog after completing puppy training at Puppy Steps

Lucy Lovell

"I was initially apprehensive, but we've been so happy with all Puppy Steps services and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy and his team! I followed the Fb posts for a few months, asked lots of questions and when the time was right I spoke to Andy at length and booked a place to find a puppy and train her. His experience helped to find a good litter and he helped us choose our puppy via video clips.

At 7 months now Frida is the calmest dog, with a wonderful temperament thanks to great training - a joy to have in our family. We'll definitely go back to Puppy Steps if we ever decide to have another puppy."

Kirsteen Binnie

"I contacted Andy @ puppy steps after reading the reviews and testimonials on the website. I spoke to Andy a number of times at length as I wasn’t sure the type of puppy that would suit our family. Andy found and trained our beautiful cocker spaniel Harper. She is a delight. Obedient, calm and super friendly. From day one everyone comments on how calm and well behaved she is. Slept all night from day one with no accidents. I would recommend Andy and his team in a heartbeat. I have called Andy since to get advice and guidance and he is always happy to help. Harper is nearly 8 months now and the best decision we ever made."

Linda and Mike, Aoife's owners

We have wanted our own dog for many years but with both of us working full time, it just wasn't possible. A mutual friend told me about Andy, so I contacted him to ask about the unique service he was offering. We had two in depth telephone conversations about our lifestyle, which breed would suit us, his experience with dogs, and the training he was offering etc. Yesterday we went to view one of Andy's puppies, a little black Cocker Spaniel. She was absolutely adorable, so tiny but full of beans. Andy is extremely knowledgable, he answered all our questions, and gave us plenty of advice and encouragement. We spent some time with Andy and his wife Lucy and two beautiful children, Harry and Libby. They made us feel very much at home, they are both so easy to talk to, even though it was our first meeting it felt like we had known them for ever. Andy is a great person, so professional, with extremely high principles. There was no pressure to adopt the puppy, we all needed to make sure it was the correct thing for all concerned. Fortunately they must have liked us too, because Andy and Lucy agreed that we were going to be responsible dog owners, who would give their puppy the home it deserved. We're collecting our puppy now named Aoife (pronounced - eefa) at the beginning of December. 
Andy is offering an exceptional service, his passion and enthusiasm is phenomenal, and I would thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone who thought they couldn't take on a puppy. Exciting times ahead!!
