Beginner Puppy Board & Train
for puppies between 8 – 12 weeks and 12-16 weeks
This program is designed to help you ease into the transition of life with a new puppy! A new puppy is one of the most exciting and adorable things to experience in life. However, a new puppy brings a lot of challenges and changes to your daily life. It may not be ideal to have to get up at 3 am to potty your new puppy, or try to soothe a puppy who is barking non-stop in his/her crate.
Working a full-time job may not allow you to take the puppy out as frequently during the day as he/she needs. Whatever challenge you may face it should not inhibit you from owning the puppy that you desire! Therefore, we are here to help! Our professional training experience and years of puppy raising will allow us to aid you in starting off your new puppy’s little life on the right paw.
Customized board and train puppy program! This program consists of the puppy staying with us for a minimum of 4 weeks or 8 weeks.
In this program we cover:
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Age-appropriate vet visits
- Behavioral modification: No jumping, biting, how to nicely greet people, how to respect other dogs (we do not have cats)
- Socialization with: people, children, new environments, sights and sounds
- Introduction to grooming: brushing, baths, dryer, nail trims, sanitary trims
- It is important to remember that all these behaviors will be taught at an age-appropriate level. An 8-week old puppy’s capacity to learn is very different from a 6 month old puppy!
- Training concepts:
- Engagement
- Sit, down, stand & combinations of the three
- Sit-stay, down-stay, stand-stay
- Leash breaking – we teach 2 types of heeling
- Place command
- Introduction to come when called – on leash
- What “NO!” means

Puppy Board & Train
for puppies 16 – 24 weeks
The purpose of this program is to assist you in the early phases of puppy raising and training. Your puppy will be introduced to desired experiences, behaviors and training at an impressionable age. This program will create a solid foundation for obedience, emotional fitness, positive environmental experiences and socialization for your puppy with dogs and people. In this time frame the puppy will learn everything mentioned above and we will be laying the foundation.
Therefore, the puppy will learn from a very skilled hand! This pattern has produced the best results because the training the puppy receives can be translated and taught to you at the ideal time. The focus becomes you and what you need to know and learn vs. you and the puppy learning at the same time. All that the puppy has been taught you will learn in multiple follow up sessions with us once the program is complete.
Advantages of this puppy program include:
- The training foundation is laid by a professional
- Your puppy is fully immersed in a training program with no distractions or setbacks
- When behavioral issues occur, we are able to recognize and deal with them immediately
- Your puppy will learn to be independent and develop into his/her own identity in a setting where he/she is not always the sole focus, he/she will learn how to be patient and wait his/her turn. Learning to settle and have down time is critical to puppy development in order to avoid issues such as separation anxiety in the future.
- Your puppy will experience what it’s like to be in a boarding situation while going through a training process in a structured environment. This allows for a positive experience and association for future boarding. This is hugely beneficial for decreasing stress and acclimation when you will need to board your dog for future vacations etc.
- Your puppy will be socialized with the right dogs at the right time
- Your puppy will experience the right environments at the right time

Basic On-leash Obedience + Advanced Off-leash Obedience
For dogs 6 mos +
This program builds on all the commands and principles taught in our on-leash program by incorporating the e-collar as an invisible leash to replace the physical leash. The e-collar is not used to teach any commands but is utilized as reinforcement of the dogs understanding of the commands. This means that the off-leash recall will be extremely reliable under pressure or distractions. A well-trained dog should always “come” when called no matter what. All of the trained “stays” and heeling will be trained off-leash as well! This training allows for a better experience for both you and the dog because you aren’t limited to the confines of the leash. Remember when the dog is on leash so are you, haha!
More Information:
- This is our most popular program! This is the full scope of pet obedience that we train. This program is our full foundation education and will serve you and your dog for his/her lifetime!
- This program entails our basic + advanced concepts and takes a minimum of 8 weeks to complete
- This curriculum is a prerequisite for any personal protection or service dog training
