Training from an early age is key for confident, cooperative, and easy-to-live with dogs. Our program provides your puppy with the building blocks and a solid foundation for continued growth, a good working relationship, and happy/healthy interactions with the world around them. Our program is completely customized for each dog and household. We work intently to teach your dog the behaviors and skills that will benefit the puppy and you after training and throughout life.
Our exclusive, Stay and Train Puppy Program is based in positive reinforcement. While being immersed into a real home setting and real life situations, the puppy will be exposed to many different experiences and training opportunities inside and outside of the home, which will set your puppy up for success in facing new situations.
Your puppy's day to day routine during the program will consist of multiple training sessions spread throughout the day, chances for proper human introductions/socialization, proper dog to dog interactions/behaviors, time/chances for exploring the outdoors, lots of treats, toys, chances for play, and constant application of positive behavior shaping training.
At the end of your puppy's stay with us we will meet with you to reintroduce you and your puppy. We will demonstrate your puppy's newly acquired or improved skill set. We will discuss the newly learned skills and behaviors and work with you, giving you the tools to continue to work with your puppy at home. Together we will develop a continued training plan that will keep you and your puppy on the path of success.

The longer you wait on adjusting undesired patterns and behaviors, the more work it will be when we get to restructuring it. Not impossible by any means but dogs, just like humans, are pattern learners. This means the longer they get in the habit/pattern/routine of doing something a certain way, the longer it takes us to dismantle it, rewire the behaviors, and get moving with the desired ones.
​
In our Skills & Manners Camp, we will work on polite manners exhibited in the home, with other dogs, boundaries with dogs and people, learn calming behaviors, all basic obedience directives : Stay, Down, Leave it, Place, Come, Nose Touch, Leash Walking & incorporate distractions like walking past dogs, kids playing, coming when called from far away.
