PUPPY PROGRAMS
We customize our training and methods for each dog’s temperament and personality—no forcing square pegs into round holes here! We take a very personal and individual approach to each dog’s training experience.
Below is some general information about our puppy programs:

Private Lessons
Board & Train
We offer two Board and Train programs for puppies: Polished Pup ($3300.00) which is three weeks long, and Power Puppy ($2200.00) which is two weeks long. includes the following:
• All dogs live in a house (not a kennel), and they practice house manners and how to have calm indoor behavior on cue. During their stay, they would train with us, learn to socialize with other dogs (politely) every day, learn to play with humans that challenges them and gives outlet for their drives, and gain all kinds of new skills and obedience training that can be applied in public and in the home. They’ll have a fun, active learning experience here, and will come home LOVING to listen and go on adventures, as well as be able to calm down on cue and exercise impulse control.
• We build a strong behavioral foundation in any situation, and help you with the transition back home by providing a customized, easy-to-follow Go Home protocol.
• Your dog will learn how to play with other dogs politely (if appropriate), and how to ignore other dogs when necessary. They will learn how to focus on YOU! We practice around other dogs and teach them how to focus even around various distractions.
• We get your puppy on a daily schedule (and potty training!) that transfers easily to your home! We will prepare her for your lifestyle and schedule to maximize continued success after she graduates.
• We prioritize socialization and environmental neutrality (see attached article), confidence building, teaching puppies how to think creatively, and how to LOVE obedience games and engagement with their humans above all else.
• We prepare them for real-world pressures and surprises, and pave the way for fantastic adult obedience.
• This program includes two private lessons to help you learn the protocols, troubleshoot, and stay on track, training gear, a done-for-you puppy schedule (customized to your lifestyle!), and eligibility to board your pup here should you need to go out of town.
• This program also includes:
- a video library with instructions, references, examples, and help
- two on-site Private Lessons to help handlers learn the protocols, troubleshoot, and stay on track
- a comprehensive written handout
- a customized Go Home protocol to help in smoothly transferring all his new skills back to the home setting
*** The Polished Pup program achieves a great foundation for your pup! and the Power Puppy program builds on the Polished Pup plus gives your puppy more time to learn good environmentals and socialization skills, as well as hone in their new structure and habit-building protocols!

Lessons are a great way to learn dog training techniques! Results are directly related to how well you do your training at home and following suggested protocols, so prepare to dedicate about 60 minutes per day to training your dog. Also, be prepared to make alterations in your routine and living pattern while they’re learning new skills. This will help your dog achieve the best success possible!

After the program, we offer lifelong support via the Graduate Club, which includes the online portal and two group classes each month, for $79/month per dog (cancel anytime). Graduate Club provides help and support, it is an ongoing resource for all your questions, and in person coaching for you. We also learn tricks, agility, and other skills that will enrich your dog and be a lot of fun for you both! We know that the HUMAN is the key to a dog’s long-term excellence!
We have a strong ethos regarding training. It rests on the belief that a dog should not simply “obey.” They should listen and be reliable, with joy and enthusiasm! It’s not enough for us that they “do what we say.” Our goal is that every dog we train to absolutely LOVE working with you.
​
Reliability + joyful demeanor is our standard.
