New Puppy Training Options
New Puppy In-Home Special $575 Six 60-minute training sessions in your home. For puppies and their people during the critical socialization period (0-12 weeks). This option is available to breeders (0-8 weeks) and the puppy’s first owner (8-12 weeks). I use Jane Killion’s Puppy Culture program with breeders and the KPA Puppy Start Right program with owners.

New Puppy Board & Train: $1995 for my Standard 3-Week Option, which includes Foundation Skills, Socialization, and Obedience Training. Your dog will live 4 days a week with me and my dogs in my home. We will do at least 3 safe socialization outings each week…then your dog will return home to spend 3 days with you so you can work with the newly learned behaviors, and take your puppy on additional socialization outings. Then the process will repeat. The standard program includes 12 days of board and train, pick-up, and return each week, plus a 30-minute owner training and “hand-off” after each of the three stays with me.
