For puppies between 8-18 weeks of age at the start date.
Starting as early as possible is advised.
Solid foundation behaviors and/or robust socialization programs are carefully planned and executed by our expert trainers. Choose from 2 half-day programs based on the needs of your specific situation and puppy. Programs run Monday through Thursday with the exception of modified holiday schedules (your assigned dates are listed when registering).

Puppy Socialization is where we set the stage for a dog's emotions about the world for their entire life. In this short window of brain development, we work to reduce and/or prevent instances of fear and stress, build your puppy's confidence and optimism about the world at large and increase resiliency or bounce-back ability.
Basic Training, Puppy Socialization + Two (2) Private Sessions
4-Week: @ $1900.00 = 40hrs of training + socialization + 2 private sessions (~$19.63/hr + private sessions)
1-Week Add-On: @ $475.00
1 Add-On Private Transfer of Knowledge Session: @ $165.00/hour
Your pup will learn all of their foundational manners skills, receive appropriate and robust daily socialization, and you'll receive weekly videos to keep you on track at home to maintain those new behaviors.
We use humane, positive reinforcement style training that aligns with most current scientific research on animal learning and best ethical practices. Our well-vetted training plans are intended to optimize speed in learning and retention for the dog using rewards-based training. Families are busy, our job is to make this process as efficient and fun as possible. We are strongly against punitive methods in training. To learn more about our guiding principles, check out the LIMA position statement from the APDT here.
