I have a puppy; where do I get started?

First of all-congratulations on your new puppy! That is always an exciting time.

I am glad you are getting started with your puppy training right away since we start training our puppy the moment we take them home. Puppies are sponges and they learn quickly through our every day interactions as well as intentional training times.

To get started, you can do an Introductory Session via Zoom or in person. This session can be done even before you get your puppy to help you set up a game plan, answer questions and have you feeling prepared for your puppy to come home.

If you already have your puppy, but your puppy is not vaccinated and ready to be out in public settings you can do a virtual Introductory Session via Zoom. You can also look at setting up a session in your home (travel fee applies and check availability).

For puppies to come to the facility, we do want to make sure they are vaccinated and protected. The minimum vaccines we require are a Distemper and at least one Distemper vaccine and Bordetella vaccines. The puppy must have had the Bordetella vaccine and Distemper booster at least one week before coming to the facility. Some clients will wait until the puppy has had their second Distemper booster before coming to the facility. Puppies must also be current on flea/tick preventative. When they are old enough for Rabies, we would like to have updated Rabies vaccine paperwork as well.

If your puppy is vaccinated and ready to go, you can do an Introductory Session or Coaching to get started. Some clients will chose to watch videos about my approach and from there jump into Life Skills or Recall and Relevance Meet Ups. We also offer puppy socialization sessions.
