Our In-Home Puppy Training Program
Our Puppy Foundations & Socialization program is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of the first few months. As a private, in-home mobile dog trainer, we focus on prevention and positive learning, creating a solid foundation for a lifetime of good behavior.
We come to you to work on key skills in your puppy's own environment, where they are most comfortable and where most of the learning needs to happen. Our goal is to make training fun and effective for the whole family!
This program is ideal for puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months of age.
