Our Board & Train Programs:
Program 1: 10-Day Puppy Foundations Program
Perfect for puppies or dogs new to training, our 10-Day Puppy Foundations Program focuses on creating a solid base of essential skills and positive experiences, while also addressing common "naughty" behaviors by teaching your puppy alternative, more appropriate actions.
What’s Included:
- Potty Training: Introducing consistent routines and habits to prevent accidents and build good habits early on.
- Crate Training: Learning to relax in the crate.
- Socialization: Exposing your puppy to a variety of environments, people, and places to build confidence and reduce fear.
- Playtime with Other Dogs: Safe, supervised interactions with other dogs (for friendly dogs) to promote proper social behavior.
- Leash Walking Foundations: Establishing good leash manners to prevent pulling and teach your puppy to walk calmly at your side.
- Addressing Naughty Behaviors: Redirecting unwanted behaviors (e.g., jumping, chewing, barking) by building alternative, positive behaviors. For example, replacing jumping with "sit" or redirecting chewing to appropriate toys.
This program is designed to set your dog up for success in future training and to establish positive behaviors early on, ensuring that your puppy learns what to do, not just what not to do.
