Our Comprehensive Puppy Course is designed to help puppies and their owners build a lifetime of love, companionship, and trust. We’ll support you through the earliest days of puppyhood and guide you all the way through to their adult years. From potty-training to comprehensive obedience and off-leash training, we’re here to help your puppy become the best version of themselves.
Our puppy program starts with group classes for puppies as young as 8 weeks old. Once your pup reaches 6 months of age, our board-and-train officially begins, offering more intensive training to continue their development.

First, we build a bond with your dog while introducing the concept of leash pressure and teaching and rewarding desired behaviors with treats and praise. This builds confidence and a desire to participate in the work!
Once a bond has been established, and your dog has a clear understanding of our expectations we will continue to reinforce desired behaviors with rewards, and discourage poor and undesired behaviors with corrections.
Now that a relationship has been formed through love, trust, and respect, we are able to reinforce the training by remaining consistent. This means consistency in our expectations and our continued practice. Consistency leads to a happy and confident dog who views you as a strong and fair pack leader.

Obedience training teaches dogs to respond to commands and follow rules set by their owners. The goal of obedience training is to create a well-behaved dog that can coexist peacefully with humans and other animals.
Obedience training is important because it helps dogs understand what is expected of them and reinforces positive behaviors. It also helps to prevent and address problem behaviors, such as barking, chewing, jumping, and aggression.
Our 3-week board and train program offers several advantages over other training methods. With intense daily training sessions, dogs can make rapid progress in a short amount of time. The boarding aspect of the program also allows dogs to receive round-the-clock training and attention, helping to solidify their obedience training. Additionally, owners can rest assured that their dogs are in a safe and comfortable environment while they receive training.
Puppies can begin obedience training as early as 8 weeks old, but it’s never too late to start training a dog of any age. Older dogs may take longer to learn new behaviors, but with patience and consistency, they can still be trained.
Both of our Board-and-Train Programs come with a guaranteed lifetime support!
We believe that the training doesn’t end after the 3 weeks conclude. We also believe it is our responsibility to make sure we continue to support you and your dog until the training is going well at home. For this reason, we have a robust, year-long post graduation follow-up process where we proactively reach out to you to make sure things are going well at home. Of course, for the rest of your dog’s life, we will always be here in full capacity to assist you.
