First Time Puppy Owner
"I am a first time puppy owner and I don't know what I would have done without Val and Des. I was pretty overwhelmed and Val was perfect. She was very professional but also very patient and kind and she made it really easy to pick up on the training techniques. My Jazzy loves them and she has made so much progress in her obedience training. I am so thankful to have found the perfect fit for me and my doggy. I highly recommend them. "

“The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the standard of care for puppies to receive socialization before they are fully vaccinated.

Puppy Training FAQ
Does my puppy need to be fully vaccinated before starting your Puppy Program?**
No. Per the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, puppies should receive exposure and socialization before they are fully vaccinated. As your coaches, it is our job to discuss and show you the proper steps of socialization and exposure training for a young dog.
Where would my puppy live during a Sleepaway Camp?
Your puppy will be sleeping near us because, well, that's how we know when to take them out for their midnight potty breaks. Because potty training is such an important part of your puppy's stay with us here, we make sure that your puppy gets the attention they need from us during this critical part of their lives. Our Sleep Away Camp also comes with 3 months of supoprt and two private coaching lessons to help you understand how to encourage and discourage behaviors.
What will I learn during the coaching lessons?
That depends on you, your puppy, and the training program we create together. The goal of our coaching lessons is to teach you how to think like a dog trainer. You will leave each lesson with a game plan on resolving your issues but also a little wiser on how animals learn.
