Puppy Socialization Program

Proper socialization and the foundations of training are often overlooked by many new puppy parents. We have developed a special 4 week package for puppies up to 6 months of age. Our training program will help your puppy grow into a well-behaved, happy and healthy dog while also supporting your confidence and knowledge as a pet parent. We’ll work on socialization, manners, enrichment, crate training, grooming and reinforce potty training all while allowing for ample play and nap times.

What Sets Our Program Apart?

Clear, Practical Results
  •  Just like human children, we teach your pup HOW to learn and focus on teaching attention and impulse control.
  •  We will teach you how to clearly communicate with your puppy by teaching the “language” of marker training.
  • We will give you practical advice and tools to address the most common unwanted puppy habits.                
Positive, Humane Methods
