Transition Training Puppy Program

( starting at 8 weeks )

This type of training differs greatly from Stay & Train with regard that your young pup will have just left its mom and littermates. This transition training will take place in a home, not a kennel.  Your dog will be under the direct and indirect supervision of a Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer.  This basic training includes:

•Crate training - ensuring the dog can be calm, comfortable, and quiet in a crate with or without people in the house.

•Potty training - teaching the dog to eliminate only outside. Depending on the age of the puppy, this won't be mastered after 3 weeks.

•Socializing being exposed to and getting comfortable with all kinds of people of different races/gender/abilities/forms of dress. Your pup will also be exposed to and getting comfortable being around other dogs.

•Basic commands: such as sit, touch/recall, down, etc.

Follow-Up Meeting  - This is a 1-1 1/2 hour session provided upon pick up of your dog and should be scheduled in advance to ensure enough time. In this session, we will review the progress of your dog and you will receive protocols for reconnecting with your dog back home with continuing success. 

The health and safety of all the pooches in our care is our number one priority. All of our guests are required to have a Bordetella Vaccine and both a stool sample and Parvo screening performed by their veterinarian before attending the Transition Training Puppy Program.
