Puppy Training
Our Puppy Packages come in a variety of lengths to allow you to custom select a plan for your individual puppy that will work best for his age and particular learning style.
Our Puppy Program is available as a drop-in training style (bring your puppy in for their 45-60 minute session), or can be added on to our Daycare or Boarding services. Feel free to drop off your puppy for his training or attend the sessions with him! All Puppy Packages come with take-home homework and exercises to prepare you for training at home after the program has concluded.
