Puppy Training Program
For owners that want their puppy to receive training before they take him/her home, I offer 3 different levels of puppy training services. This is exclusive to puppies I have bred and raised-I do not accept outside puppies into the program. This is a board & train program with puppies entering the program at 8 weeks.
Level 1
Program length: 4 weeks
Age of puppy: 2-3 months.
Cost: $1000*
Level 1 is my puppy basics program. In level 1 your puppy will be socialized and learn basic manners such as a crate training, no biting, become comfortable having his/her body handled for nails trims, grooming, and other care. They will also be introduced to engagement(learning how to work in "school") and appropriate play with their owner, a recall, and impulse control.

Level 2
Program length: 8 weeks

Cost: $2000*
Level 2 is a continuation of level 1. Your puppy will learn all the basics as laid out in level 1 and then we will build on the recall and impulse control. Sit, down, place and loose leash walking are also introduced at this time.

Level 3
Program length: 20 weeks
Age of puppy: 2-7 months.
Cost: $4500* (Can be broken into monthly installments.)
Level 3 is a continuation of levels 1 & 2. Your puppy will learn all the basics as laid out in levels 1 & 2, and then we will build on solidifying them all, including recalls and loose leash walking around heavy distractions. During this time they will begin taking outings with me as appropriate, working on obedience in public with various distractions. I also work on teaching the "off switch" to the puppy. You will be confident taking your level 3 puppy with you wherever you go, as a well behaved, obedient companion. With its focus on distraction training and public work, this level is suitable for service dog candidates(as long as they possess the appropriate temperament. Training alone does not create a service dog.)
