Puppy Training

“Our last puppy was so much easier to train, we are at a loss with this one!”

Raising three young boys between 9-14, they thought getting a puppy would be good idea. After just three weeks, they were at the end of the rope. The puppy was chasing the kids around nipping, making the youngest cry. The youngest was becoming afraid of him. 

Potty training meant finding all the places the puppy went after the fact. It might have been only once or twice a day, but it seemed like someone was ALWAYS stepping in dog poop.  In fact, Dad even shouted once that if he stepped in one more pile he was going to send the dog away!

And chewing?  Boy could that dog chew.  He was small, but he could get the laces torn out of shoes in a heartbeat.  He even pulled up the edges of the carpet.  The family estimated that he’d done $1500 in damage in the three weeks they had him! They tried kennel training, but he barked and howled all day. The neighbors complained about the nuisance barking, and it wasn't any better when they were home. He barked all night and no one got any sleep.

It all just seemed to be too much! So they called us.  They got into a group class and learned how to manage these behaviors.

Do you want a well behaved adult dog? Puppy training is a great place to start.

Puppy Day Camp Package

“I really need to take a puppy class but my schedule is difficult, he also needs a little more than I’m able to give him each week.”

They knew they needed puppy training, but their schedule just did not line up with our available puppy classes. Working busy schedules, juggling kids in the evening, sometimes it seemed like there just wasn't enough hours in the day. They also felt their puppy needed something to do during the day that was more than just playing, but getting proper social interaction, as well as mental stimulation. So they decided to send him to puppy day camp a couple times each week, while learning all the things their puppy was learning at home in their own time remotely.

Our Puppy Day Camp Package is a program available to all puppy owners with puppies 6 months and under. This package includes a 6 week online puppy class, and once weekly puppy day camp for their puppy to get the work they need with an experienced trainer. Puppy day camp days are scheduled Wednesday or Thursday each week. Your puppy will be working on the criteria that coincides with the information you’re learning in the online puppy class.
