Many homes here have fenced backyards, which eases potty training but does not replace supervision. A puppy left alone outside may dig, chew or bark at passersby. Stay with your puppy for the first weeks, reward each successful trip and bring it inside to rest. Southern Boulevard and Royal Palm Beach Boulevard are busy, so ask for a sit at every curb. A short puppy package, generally $150 to $350, is a common way to start.
Commons Park centers on a lake with about three miles of paved trails, a handy place to practice calm passes once your veterinarian approves outings. The village's pet ordinance requires pets in public places to stay on a leash and under control, with off-leash allowed only at spots the village designates, so keep a leash in hand and look for posted signs.
Ponds and canals are common in this part of the county, and standing water attracts wildlife. Keep your puppy leashed near any edge and stop it drinking from puddles. If children are in the house, have an adult nearby while they practice sit-for-treat games and learn to hold still when a puppy gets mouthy.
These figures are estimates. Rates change with the trainer, the puppy and the market.
