This program is the best start you can give your puppy. Puppies can start this program between 9 and 12 weeks of age. In this exclusive program, we raise your puppy the way we would raise our own brand-new puppy. Daily socialization, housebreaking, multiple training sessions per day, and a focus on foundational skills that are critical for a new puppy.
Birth to 16 weeks is a critical time for your puppy. Leave it to the professionals to get your puppy appropriate socialization and exposure, and the skills you want, but don’t have the time to teach. This program runs for 4 weeks. You drop your puppy off Monday morning at the trainers house and pick them up Friday afternoon to spend the weekend cuddling and playing with your puppy, without having to worry about them during the workweek. Your puppy will learn all the fundamentals while being socialized in a safe and age-appropriate way, all while living in the trainer’s home (not a kennel!) as the only puppy with two other well-socialized doggy role models.
Included in this program:
- Initial 1.5 hour consult to get you and your puppy started on the right track, which includes a wellness plan, management plan, and a plan to minimize destructive puppy behaviors.
- 4 weeks of Monday-Friday care, training, socialization, housebreaking, field trips and more all done in your trainers home like your puppy is a part of the family
- Housebreaking protocol
- 4 pick-up lessons, 30 minutes each to show you how to maintain the skills your puppy is learning
- 4 50-minute follow-up training sessions to keep your puppy (and you) on the right track after they return home
- Unlimited email support during the program
- 1 month of follow-up care after the last lesson
- Training pouch, long-line and clicker to get your started
- Access to the DoggyU Member portal for additional training support through training videos and handouts
- Daily updates on your puppies progress
- Total focus from your trainer – your puppy will be the only puppy in the home so all attention will be on them!
