Program overview
The first months of a puppy’s life shape everything that follows. Our trainers guide families through socialization windows, predictable routines, and games that build engagement. Every visit layers foundation skills and confidence so your dog matures into a relaxed, curious teammate rather than an anxious whirlwind.
We train in-home, on field trips, and in controlled playgroups to expose puppies to new environments at an appropriate pace. Expect written plans, gear recommendations, and video demos so the whole household stays aligned.
Early skills we install
- Housebreaking schedules, crate conditioning, and quiet settle cues
- Name response, marker systems, and engagement games that spark focus
- Loose-leash walking, controlled greetings, and polite play with humans and dogs
- Confidence drills for elevators, grooming, car rides, and urban distractions
Program formats
- Puppy jump-start: Two-week rapid foundations focused on potty success, crate comfort, and handler mechanics.
- Day school: Drop-off socialization with structured play, field trip exposure, and weekly transfer lessons.
- Immersive board & coach: Short stays (10–14 days) that jump-start manners before your puppy returns home with a detailed plan.
Family support
You receive socialization trackers, schedule templates, and age-appropriate enrichment ideas. Trainers remain on-call between lessons for quick troubleshooting so small issues never become big habits.
