Your puppy will be started on:
Potty training foundations and cue recognition
Crate training for calm, comfortable sleep
Daily routines and structure
Positive reinforcement-based learning
Living in the trainer’s home with continuous guidance
This program saves time, stress, and sleepless nights while setting the stage for long-term success.

Leash walking foundations
Monitored house time in a real home environment
Household boundaries (furniture rules, appropriate chewing, calm greetings)

New puppy and going on vacation? We offer a board and train for this period so that your puppy maintains your foundations while you are away. We will work on continuing potty training, crate training, and working on sit and house manners while you are away so you don't have to worry about any of that being reversed or bad habits forming. Contact us today to see if we have availability.

Additional tune-up sessions are available for past clients who want continued support, troubleshooting, or refinement as their puppy grows.
