Puppy Kindergarten Class

FOR YOUNG PUPPIES, age 8-20 weeks

Everything you need to get off to a great start with your young puppy!

Topics we cover:

  • Housebreaking
  • Common puppy behaviors that humans struggle with (such as puppy nipping/mouthing), barking in crate, other.
  • Foundation games for skill building: It’s all about building connection and confidence at this stage all through games which teach a few foundational skills, play, and exploration.
  • How to navigate distractions with ease and confidence.

Skills we focus on:

  • Recall (coming when called)
  • Drop/Out, taught through play
  • Beginning steps of going to “place”
  • Following on a Loose-Lead (intro to Loose-Lead Walking)
  • Learning to make good choices for reward.
  • And more!

It is also an OPEN ENROLLMENT class so your puppy can enroll and join anytime as long as long as we have a slot available.

Private training packages for young puppies 5 months and under

We help young pups grow their confidence and new pup-owners how to truly engage and connect with their new puppy through play and games. We take a behavioral and holistic approach to working with you and your new puppy. We can spot early red flags for serious behavioral issues that most pet dog owners do not see. We can then adjust training and behavior priorities according to what your pup truly needs most.

Our Puppy Package of 8 60-minute training sessions is designed to set you and your pup up for real life ready success! 

It offers everything that our 5-session training package does and more (for more savings) because we know that more is what is really needed to truly be successful as you navigate puppyhood and enter into the teenage months/years.

This package is for those puppy owners who seek to continue to get the best in training and behavioral guidance for their pup as he/she begins to mature. It is not for those who simply wish to check “puppy training” off the list. We seek serious minded and committed individuals who are as committed as we are to the training process. Our goal is your success.

When you come on board with your young puppy, this puppy pricing holds should you wish to do more training beyond the scope of one training package. This is our way of saying “thank you” for being a responsible pet owner who wants the best for their pup from an early age.  Those who wait or post-pone training will (in most cases) experience behavioral struggles ranging anywhere from moderate to more severe. Our mission is to encourage early training and intervention for what might become true problems later on.

New Puppy Consultation/One Lesson

This is a New Puppy Consultation.  Duration: 90 minutes.  Whether you have yet to get a puppy and need guidance in the decision process or have already brought your new puppy home and simply want guidance in terms of how to housebreak, crate train, socialize, handle puppy mouthing and chewing, as well as how to puppy proof your home, then this is for you.

This consultation does not include training of foundational skills.  However, from here, we can make recommendations as to what type of future training would be best suited to your new puppy and your life-style, whether this be enrolling in one of our classes, online training options (which work very well and save money plus time), or an in-home training package purchase.  In many cases, clients opt for a combination of private training sessions and class options to get the best of both options for their puppy.

Going forward post consultation, if you wish to come on board and train with us, we have discounted package pricing available OR pay per session at the hourly rate of $185.  We are happy to discuss payment options with you.
