Puppy Training

Our goal has always been to offer a healthy, happy puppy that makes a wonderful pet for your family.

Our Trainers

Our On-site Trainer is David Miller, and his children. The entire family is involved in the training on a daily basis in which the puppies learn to work with younger children and adults. At his place, the puppies will receive additional socialization from children of all ages and get introduced to a home environment.

Our proctor is Steve Haynes of Dogspecialist.com, Canine Design Group, and FidelioWorks Canada. Steve has been working with dogs for over 50 years and has trained dogs all over the world.

Every week, twice to three times per week, you’ll receive video updates, detailed documentation of your pup’s progress, and comments from the proctor trainer.

Steve and David will meet twice a week to review your pup’s progress, review videos, and send them to you by email or text so you can follow along. In addition, Steve will send you detailed updates about your puppy’s progress.

Training Programs

4-Week Proctored Puppy Basic Training Program – Puppies learn their name so that when you call them, they’ll turn toward you (focus), and then you can call the command you wish them to follow. In these earliest stages, puppies will learn these four (4) basic commands: Learning to respond to their name and to look at you when called, Come, Sit, Leave It – in addition to crate training and potty training.
Off-Leash Training – Like leash training, these early days are foundational for your puppy to learn their skills. Puppies will NOT be off-leash trained when delivered or picked up, but they can be started with off-leash skills built upon as they mature. Puppies need foundational training in the four-week proctored puppy training program before they can begin some more advanced skills.
Longer-term Training – If you are interested in longer-term training, the second month after the basic puppy program continues the first month of working to cement what your puppy has learned. In the subsequent months, your puppy would continue building on the knowledge they’ve gained and will become more of a tailored program suited to your requests.

Included Vaccinations

At twelve weeks old, the puppies in training will receive their rabies shots and second puppy immunizations. Before these final shots, puppies receive all deworming, other parasitic treatments, and other medications as needed.

Puppies are fed a healthy diet on a regular schedule. We currently feed NutriSource and every puppy receives a sample bag of puppy food at pick up or delivery along with their health record within their puppy folder, and vet check.

The rabies tag and paperwork are completed when your puppy in training turns twelve weeks old.

A Note About Service Dogs

We’ve received a lot of requests about training for service dogs and have chosen to focus on basic puppy training for the time being.

Service dog trainers will tell you that over ninety percent of dogs entered into their programs ‘wash out,’ and determining before eight weeks if a puppy might succeed in their program is impossible.
