New Puppy Training

The first six months for your puppy is crucial!        
Exposure and training should start as soon as you get your special puppy home.  Puppies at this young age are "sponges" for knowledge and, therefore, learn very quickly.  New puppy training packages start your puppy out right.   We have two foundation training packages that will establish life skills needed for a great adult dog.  

Why choose private lessons?

• Group classes are great, but have general lesson plans that might not address your specific needs
• Group classes offer very little individual instruction on how to train your dog.    
• Group classes may not fit into your schedule; classes meet weekly for 6-8 weeks on a specific day/time
• Private lessons are customized to your need, on your schedule, and provide individual instruction.
• Group classes can be stressful to your young puppy

Life is busy!  Let us you maximize your training time!
