My daughter took her pup to Petsmart training, and she loved it! https://www.petsmart.com/pet-services/training/

Bottom line, consistency is your best bet. Make sure you stick to your guns, even if the puppy resists. This might mean several nights of puppy cries if you don't want him/her in your bed, but rather in his/her kennel, etc. Be sure to check unwanted behavior quickly, such as growling while eating or nipping when you reprimand. And lavishly praise good behavior, such as when they sit for a treat, or stop barking when you ask.

I agree with Tiguer - its work on the front end but pays off in rich reward in the long run as you welcome a new member to the household who then fits in great! Good luck!

@BRechtzigel Thanks for the advice! I am so excited. I am assuming training a dog will be a lot like training my toddler. 🙂
