Puppy Head Start (Dogs 8wks to 6mo. old) $250 – 6 weeks + 2 Private Lessons (45min each private)
Puppy Head Start is our special way of ensuring we take maximum advantage of a puppy’s young, flexible mind. The goal of this program is to get you and your puppy into a class as soon as possible so that no time is wasted during the critical early learning stages. The program sets you up with two one on one private sessions with the trainer before entering a class. These one-on-one classes help develop an instinctual skill set in your pup that includes as bite inhibition, potty training, and confidence building. After some practice with those skills you are automatically enrolled in a Level 1 class where your puppy will learn to work around other dogs of all ages. We do this because it is important for your puppy to lean around and socialize with friendly adult dogs.
