Puppy Programs

Do you have a new puppy and are feeling overwhelmed and frustrated? 
Are you struggling with common puppy issues like jumping up on people, chewing up your furniture, nipping/biting and potty training?
  • You know your pup needs some training, but don’t know where to begin?
  • Are you confused about how to socialize your puppy?
  • Would you feel more comfortable having support along the way?
We offer 3 levels of Puppy Programs (Puppy Primer, Polished Puppy and Dream Puppy) designed to meet your individual needs and level of support. See details below.
The biggest difference between each of these programs is the amount of time you and your dog spend training directly with us. The more time you and your dog spend with us, the more reliable your dog will be in different situations and distractions, and the more confident you will be handling your dog!
Our longer programs include more long-term support after the program ends for your peace of mind - we’ve got your back!
From proper care and potty training to guiding you through the challenging adolescent period, we have a program solution that will have you say goodbye to frustration and hello to a happy, well-behaved pup.
