With how busy life is these days, sometimes it seems daunting to take on the day-to-day responsibilities of training a new puppy! We have a couple options to make this phase easier.

Puppy Kindergarten:

• Training Focus
  • Potty training
  • Basic house manners
  • Beginning obedience

This program facilitates 8-12 week old puppies. Owners are welcome to participate or let the trainer work one-on-one with the puppy. The puppy will board at the trainer’s home for extra care and attention. This program sets forth a beneficial foundation that will aid them for future years. Price is based upon week-by-week boarding, training equipment, preliminary consultation, and home based lesson plans.

Cost is $10,000.
