Lesson Package Examples
Puppy "Gold Standard" Program (up to 5 months)
It is important to teach your puppy the rules around the house to ensure a stress free environment for both you and your four legged baby. We know how important it is to socialize your dog to prevent behavior issues in the future. Our mission is to provide the quality education for both the owner and dog. Did you know that what your puppy learns in the first 4 months has a permanent effect on how they turn out as an adult dog? Let's get it right the first time with the complete Puppy "Gold Standard" program. In order to thrive in our human world seamlessly, It is imperative to teach your puppy how to communicate with you and fit into a predictable schedule that they can anticipate. With a clear and simple schedule, you will sleep easy at night knowing that your puppy isn't destroying your carpet or belongings, solve common issues like biting and jumping, and (most importantly) socialize your puppy the CORRECT way so that you can shape them into a well-mannered and confident dog.
