Puppy Training
Get started rightProblems are always easier to prevent than they are to solve, which is why we have created a few special programs just for new puppies and their owners! If you have a puppy less than 5 months old, this is the place for you!
PUPPY PROGRAMS – 8 WEEKS-5 MONTHS
PUPPY PREPAREDNESS KIT – $95
Prepare yourself, your family, and your home for an incoming puppy! This is an in-home consultation with one of our trainers to set you and your new puppy up for success BEFORE YOU GET THEM. Our trainers will cover items specific to your home and family, such as:
- Puppy-proofing the house
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Introducing existing pets & animals to your puppy
- Nutrition and feeding routines
- Necessary supplies
We’ll also leave you with helpful handouts and reference material for all the information we cover!
PUPPY SURVIVAL KIT – $190
Puppies must be 12 weeks old and have their first two rounds of vaccines to safely visit our facility, but most puppies come home to their new families at around 8 weeks of age. Want to know how to navigate those first 4 weeks? This package is for you! These are two 1-hour in-home sessions with one of our trainers that will help you get started on the right foot with your new family member. These lessons will help you establish feeding, potty, and other daily routines, begin laying the foundation for future training with beginning exercises, and address common puppy problems like nipping, chewing, etc.
Purchase of the Puppy Survival Kit will also give you TWO puppy yard credits to use once your puppy has been fully vaccinated!
