Puppy Training

Does your puppy bite your hands and ankles?

Is potty training giving you sleepless nights and messy carpets?

Does your puppy drag you down the street, or maybe throw on the brakes and refuse to walk at all?

Puppies are very impressionable, and the early work that you do with your puppy sets the stage for how they behave for the rest of their lives. We offer a variety of puppy programs to suit your goals for your new family member. Our programs make training so much easier for you, because we do the hard work of establishing behavior and creating good habits, and then we show you how to maintain those new skills once your puppy goes home.

Puppy Platinum

The Puppy Platinum program is designed to build a wonderful companion who is reliable off leash, reliable around all kinds of distractions, and able to perform a high level of obedience regardless of the environment. When the puppy is younger, we do a 4 week board and train to prevent bad habits, develop obedience behaviors and strong manners, and to build a foundation for future off leash reliability. 

Your puppy will go home after their 4 week program, and then come back when they are 6-8 months old for a more advanced program that includes remote collar training for off leash reliability around all kinds of distractions, and in all different kinds of environments. This program is your one stop shop for enjoying your puppy as they grow, and developing a great lifelong companion.
