5 PUPPY TRAINING, SOCIALIZING AND ADVENTURES We take the stress out of puppy training by doing the work and repetition for you. BASIC PHILOSOPHY OF TRAINING Our six-week Puppy Program emphasizes enrichment experiences for enjoying puppyhood in a protected environment. We embrace a safe culture of trust and love. We carefully shape confident behavior and positive enriching experiences. We use praise, affection, positive reinforcement and repetition. The management of calm interactions and structured rest helps puppies to learn with their shorter attention span level. Patience is key. We study the simple foundation behaviors and invest the management time for puppies to learn skills and practice conditioned emotional responses. We do the repetition and practice consistency for you so you can focus on enjoying your puppy. MAIN BENEFITS Reduce your time required to train your new puppy by 95%. Your puppy will acquire confidence so they can experience life without being fearful. Drop-off training, Mon-Fri, includes all-day daycare if needed.

Imagine taking your dog out in public, including dog-friendly restaurants, and your dog is well-behaved.
