Congratulations on your new puppy!

#1 Fresh Start Light Puppy

Imagine not having to worry about how your grown-up puppy will behave when people come over. When your dog knows how to listen in the house, they can be included in more activities. Your puppy will also learn to have polite leash manners so you can go for walks around your neighborhood without having to worry about them barking or lunging. Having a puppy that grows up to be a well-trained dog will make your home more peaceful and welcoming.

This program is usually completed by the time your puppy is one year old and includes:

  • One Private Puppy Coaching session to get puppy settled in at home and get you both off to a good start
  • At 20+ weeks of age, your puppy will come stay in our home for four days so we can teach them the most useful commands: Down, Place and Walk Nicely on the Leash
  • Two follow-up lessons will help you know your dog will listen to you
  • Six months of ongoing support so you can get all of your questions answered
  • All recommended equipment is provided so you will know you have what you need.
