Residential Puppy Programs
The Puppy Jump Start program is a 2-week residential training experience designed specifically for puppies 3 to 6 months old. During this program, your puppy lives with a professional trainer and receives daily instruction in foundational commands, potty training routines, crate training, and socialization. The program includes public field trips for real-world exposure and daily updates from the trainer.
For puppies who complete Puppy Jump Start, discounts are offered on future 2 Week Board and Train bookings. This gives owners a path to continue training as their puppy matures and becomes ready for more advanced obedience work.
The Puppy Consultation is a private one-hour session covering crate and potty training basics, marker words like “Yes,” “Good,” and “No,” foundational commands including come, sit, down, place, and leave it, puppy mouthing or biting, exposure and desensitization, behavior questions, and daily routine guidance.
Puppy Lessons include six 30-minute non-e-collar sessions for dogs over 10 weeks and up to 6 months of age. These lessons cover engagement, marker loading, come, sit, place, down, leash manners, and an overview of routine, structure, and exposure.
The Online Puppy Training Course is a video-based option with 24 video modules, 8 worksheets, and approximately 3 hours of training content. The course is purchased through an affiliate website and covers potty training, crate comfort, confidence building, basic commands using marker and reward training, and common puppy problems.

Our Puppy Training Process
Step 1: Initial Assessment
The process begins with an evaluation of your puppy’s age, temperament, and current behavior. The trainer discusses your training goals and expectations, then recommends the program that best fits your puppy’s needs. This assessment helps ensure the right match between your pup and the training approach.
Step 2: Program Planning
Once a program is selected, the trainer can review the puppy’s age, needs, and training goals with the owner. For Puppy Jump Start, the program includes potty training foundations, crate training, come, sit, down, place, marker training, socializing, public field trips, daily updates, and a 1.5-hour owner turnover session.
Step 3: Professional Training
During the training period, an experienced trainer provides daily structure and guidance based on the Puppy Jump Start curriculum. Puppies work on potty training foundations, crate training, come, sit, down, place, marker training with treats and praise, socializing, and public field trips. All Puppy Jump Start commands are taught on leash.
Step 4: Owner Transfer and Support
Owner education is a crucial part of the training program. After Puppy Jump Start, owners receive a 1.5-hour one-on-one session that reviews what the puppy learned and how to reinforce the training at home. Continued consistency with routines, commands, and boundaries helps owners support their puppy’s progress after the program.
