Sending your kid to kindergarten doesn’t automatically mean they are fully trained and well behaved. If a toddler can’t be trusted unattended in the house, neither should your puppy. Your dog is a PUPPY - equivalent to a 1–5-year-old child. Because of this, please be aware your puppy may come home with scratches or small cuts/abrasions as puppy teeth are VERY sharp and can leave marks with even the gentlest play.

Too much or incorrect human intervention will prevent the puppies from learning how to respond to dog cues properly. It is important that the trainer stay out of puppy disagreements in most cases to allow them to work it out on their own. While your puppy will only be around other dogs similar in age, size, and temperament, please be aware disagreements between puppies can and do occur. It is very important that you practice your homework each day, or you will not see the results you’re hoping for by the end of class. The specific things we are teaching your puppy are building blocks that will come together at the end of the course. Since puppy goes home at the end of each training day, it will take a little while to start to notice a big change in behavior. We have a strict curriculum laid out over the 12 days.

No jumping, no biting/nipping, no digging Using positive reinforcement and taking advantage of observational learning, we will work your puppy on the following things: (We are a 24-7 retreat so in the event you need to drop off or pick up outside those times, we can coordinate this. Ideal drop off time is 7-10 am and the ideal pick up time is between 3-6 pm. You're given homework, videos and pictures to help! You are also able to schedule time with the trainer in the afternoons to go over questions, concerns and goals in person. In this course, you drop off the pup in the am (or use our shuttle service) and the puppy trains during the day, then you pick up the puppy in the afternoons. Puppy Kindergarten meets Monday-Thursday for 3 weeks (Fridays are used for makeup days).
