puppy start board and train program
Is your puppy ready to start life off right? My Puppy Program is designed to give your puppy the best possible start with Phase 1, focusing on essential skills like house training, basic manners, and socialization.
In Phase 2, we build on that foundation, teaching your puppy reliable obedience so they become a well-behaved, confident companion. In just a few weeks, your puppy will be on the path to success, setting them up for a lifetime of positive behaviors!
This program is perfect puppies over 16 weeks old and is ideal for owners looking to set their new puppy up for success and prevent common behavioral issues right from the start! Age appropriate vaccinations and a negative fecal screening are required for enrollment.
