All puppy programs are conducted in-home or in the surrounding area. We prefer to do your initial online consult BEFORE you bring your puppy home to get you set up for appropriate house training, crate training, management and enrichment before your puppy comes home. Once you have received your puppy, we need to wait 10 days before your initial in-person lesson. This limits the spread of communicable diseases your puppy may contract in its previous home and helps keep the puppies in our program safe and healthy.
