Puppy Kindergarten Packages

Puppy Training Packages

Imagine bringing home your beautiful, new puppy and being the envy of all of your friends and family because he/ she already knows how to walk politely by your side on a leash, greets you politely, does not jump up on you, and knows how to obey basic commands...

If you are looking for a Service or Emotional Support Dog, a strong foundation is the imperative for any future training.

Puppy Kindergarten

Our Puppy Kindergarten Training program is designed to help your puppy develop a basic foundation and create core training in four key areas:

1. House Training

2. Obedience Training

3. Socialization

4. Outside Exposure

Starts at 6 weeks of age and lasts through 12 weeks of age. We spend approximately 250 hours working with your puppy. Here is a summary of the key areas that we focus on:

Elimination Training . Your puppy will begin to learn the command for "go potty" and eliminate in an area on command.

**Your puppy is not fully inoculated until 16 weeks of age. Because. of this we do not take your puppy on outside field trips. If an outside trip is deemed necessary (vet visits, etc.), the puppy will be carried and not allowed contact with the ground.

This is an exceptional package and value for the money. In addition to the training mentioned above, it includes any vaccination booster shots needed during their stay, boarding and food.

This is an introduction to the core boundaries and training foundation for a successful future. We will go through each of the exercises with you as well so you can continue training at home. Consistency and time dedication is critically important to continue to solidify the training. We do offer additional training to help advance your puppy even further.
