Planning for your puppy

• So you're thinking of getting a puppy?  ...Now what?! You could spend countless hours googling how to prepare for a new puppy, sifting though over 34 million results, but your time would be better spent talking to a professional who can answer your questions directly and give you a plan for success. This is a 60 minute virtual session where we will discuss what to expect from a pup, what tools and toys you will need to bring the new family member into your home and how to best set them up for success. If you have yet to pick your pup we can provide consultation in choosing the right type of dog with the right temperament for a bespoke fit for your home. $150.
• Perfect Puppy Package: This is a comprehensive puppy package spanning from before your puppy first arrives home through to age 6 months. It includes the pre-puppy consultation detailed above and 6 training session broken into 2 groups of 3. The first group of 3 sessions occurs in the first few weeks of your puppies arrival home and will help you establish and develop structure at home, address the needs of your puppy, and lay the foundation for a well rounded dog. The second group of 3 sessions occurs a few months later as your pup nears 6 months of age and builds obedience, leash manners, and other skills at a time when your pup is most receptive to learning.  $1150.

Board and Train Intensive Program

*This program is currently unavailable* Please feel free to inquire about our private training options which can help the vast majority of training issues as well as our structured Boarding & Daycare offerings.

Like boarding school for your pup, your dog will come to stay with Kelly & her pack for a consecutive four week program. In addition to walks and play sessions, both solo and with other pups, yours will have a minimum of three private training sessions per day where the focus will be on general obedience & crate training, as well as the specific problem areas defined in your training application. Frequent photo & video updates showing their progress will be shared with you so that you can share in their learning and fun along the way. Between the second and third week an optional scheduled time for you to come have a session with your pup is offered. Here you can see how progress is going, allow us to see you handle your pup, and of course, there will be some time for snuggles. This session isn’t mandatory, but for those who have the time we’re happy to have you!

On completion of the program Kelly will conduct a 1.5 to 3 hour Go Home Session with you and your pup. At this session she will go over your pup's new daily schedule, the mark and reward system and how to use it, how best to walk your dog (including any leash reactivity issues), how to encourage play and confidence with your dog, any specific behavioral traits your dog may have and how to work with them, and lastly any other specific notes she may have about your pup.

Once your dog is back home the work is not over and we are still here for you. To help with the transition to the new way of living with your pup an additional private training sessions is included to polish the work we’ve done together and to develop any behaviors you’d like to see. This session must be used within 90 days of your dogs go home date. We also offer unlimited text support for the first 60 days post pickup.
