Also crucial is your puppy’s safety, and as your vet might have warned you, the risk of pathogens such as parvovirus before all shots are complete, is higher at this stage of life. While this is true, from a training standpoint, the risk of behavioral issues that stem from not properly socializing your puppy is hundreds to thousands of times greater. The great news is, you can keep your vet happy, and create a well rounded confident dog! The benefit of home based training with a small facility means we have less risk of contamination, and we always will carry puppies everywhere rather than walking them. We regularly clean not only our inside areas but also our outside with the proper bleach solution that will kill Parvo and other pathogens. Our weekly daycare in our new expanded yard is a small group of about 6-8 fully vaccinated and well socialized dogs that have all been through either a board and train or extensive lessons. Whether you choose home lessons, a board and train or a Train and Play day, the rewards based training will be focused on the following:
Crate and Potty Training
Recall using target training
Handling and grooming practices including teeth brushing
Door manners
Leash pressure
Relaxation Triad from the Training Between the Ears (TBTE) system of training developed by Mark McCabe, to teach your puppy to regulate their own energy levels as they grow and change which will have lifelong benefit
Name and Explain perception modification technique from TBTE system that narrates the world to your puppy in a way that can expand and grow with them in the presence of new experiences

PUPPIES ARE HARD WORK! THEY REQUIRE CONSTANT MONITORING AND CONSISTENCY TO ESTABLISH THE PROPER CRATE, CAR AND POTTY TRAINING, GOOD BOUNDARIES AND MANNERS, AND KEEPING THEM UP TO SPEED ON THEIR PROPER SOCIALIZATION AND HABITUATION NEEDS IN THIS CRITICAL PERIOD. ALTHOUGH MANY OWNERS HAVE THE TIME NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT THIS, MANY DO NOT AND THAT IS WHERE THIS PROGRAM CAN BE A HUGE HELP. WE WILL PROPERLY IMPLEMENT A SOLID SCHEDULE OF ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR SUCCESS OF YOUR PUPPY AS WELL AS SAFELY TAKE HIM TO PUBLIC PLACES USING THE HELP OF OUR FLEET OF PUPPY STROLLERS, CARTS IN DOG FRIENDLY STORES, AND USING ANY OTHER CREATIVE STRATEGY NECESSARY TO GET THE PROPER YET SAFE EXPOSURE! WE ALSO START ON BASIC OBEDIENCE WITH A HUGE FOCUS ON A GREAT RECALL COMMAND, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON EVERYTHING ABOVE. IF MORE DAYS ARE ADDED TO THE BASE FIVE DAYS, WE CAN ADD MORE OBEDIENCE WORK OR CUSTOMIZATION. WE WILL HAVE ONE PRIVATE LESSON IN YOUR HOME OR AT THE FACILITY ON THE GO HOME DAY AND YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE A FOLLOW UP LESSON THAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE AGE OF SIX MONTHS FOR THE MOST SUCCESS. YOUR PUPPY WILL ATTEND THE BI-WEEKLY DAYCARE DURING THE BOARD AND TRAIN, AND ONE FREE TRAIN AND PLAY DAY AFTER GRADUATION IS INCLUDED AS WELL, TO BE USED BEFORE SIX MONTHS OF AGE.
