City Puppy Start: Potty Routines, Manners and Costs

A puppy in a tower or a walk-up has to learn about stairs, elevators and sidewalk litter all at once. Short package lessons cover the basics, and general estimates run $150 to $350 depending on the trainer and the number of visits.

What a city puppy plan covers

  • Potty routines that fit the time it takes to get outside from your floor.
  • Safe chewing outlets so that shoes and table legs survive.
  • Handling practice: paws, ears and a gentle brushing.
  • Early leash steps on a quiet block before busier ones.
  • Quiet time in a crate or pen so that your neighbors get some peace too.

Good questions

Before you begin.

How early should puppy lessons start?

After your veterinarian says it is safe for outings and your puppy has settled in at home.

Will my puppy get enough exercise?

Short walks and indoor play can be enough for a young puppy. Ask your veterinarian about the right amount.

Can I skip lessons and use videos?

Videos help, but a trainer can spot small habits that you may miss.

Are puppy packages worth it?

They can be, when they match what you need and include support between visits.
