Train Where Life Happens — Right at Home
You don’t have to wait for the “perfect” time or setting to start training your dog. In fact, some of the most powerful progress happens right where you live — in your kitchen, your backyard, or your living room. Whether you’re bringing home a brand-new puppy or reinforcing good habits with your adult dog, training at home is not only convenient — it’s incredibly effective.
With the right guidance and a little consistency, your home becomes the perfect classroom for building focus, trust, and better behavior. At Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, we’ve seen it firsthand — families (including many of our retired clients!) are creating calm, well-mannered, happy dogs using our online training tools, like Aly’s Academy and the Aly’s Insider Community.
Let’s get started and show you just how easy — and impactful — training at home can be.
Create a Calm Environment for Learning
Before you begin any training exercise, it’s important to create an environment that supports learning. Start by finding a quiet space in your home where distractions are limited. Dogs, especially puppies, learn best when they can focus on you without competing sounds or activities.

Start with the Basics — and Keep it Consistent
Consistency is where the magic happens. Whether you’re working on sit, stay, come, or loose-leash walking, your goal is to make things clear, repeatable, and worth it for your dog.
You don’t need marathon sessions — just 5 minutes a day, a few times a day, is all it takes to start seeing results. Keep it simple, focus on one or two cues at a time, and celebrate the little wins with praise, a treat, or a loving scratch behind the ears.
Because when training feels fun and doable, your dog learns faster — and you both enjoy the journey so much more!
Train as You Live — Because Everyday Moments Are Training Moments
At Aly’s Puppy Boot Camp, we don’t separate training from real life — we train as we live. That means every moment with your dog is a chance to build connection, set boundaries, and reinforce calm, good choices.
Feeding time? That’s a perfect moment to tap into calm
Heading out the door? That’s leash manners in action and respect for that space.
Even playtime becomes a golden opportunity to work on recall and self-control.
Real-life training happens in the small, daily rhythms — and that’s what creates a dog who’s not just obedient, but truly in tune with you.

Patience Pays Off — Trust the Process
Every dog is unique, and learning takes time. Some will catch on quickly, while others need a little more space to grow — and that’s okay! Celebrate the small wins, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey. Because when you lead with calm, clarity, and connection, your dog will rise to meet you.
And if you ever feel stuck or just want that extra layer of support, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
