If you’ve inquired about training with me, there’s a good chance you’ve received a general list of commands from me that looks something like this -

• name recognition/focus & eye contact
• recall - come or here
• sit
• down
• stay
• place - staying on an elevated bed until given a release command
• release command
• loose leash walking/heel
• confidence building exercises - these are dog dependent but help them to be more confident in new places and doing new things
• setting boundaries within the home - doorways and threshold training
• up/off - for furniture & vehicles
• kennel
• jumping, nipping, and unwanted behaviors

but the truth is, while I do focus on these things, I also ask YOU what your goals are for your dog!

Let’s talk about Daycare Training 🐾

A basic obedience program for dogs ages 6 months & older that allows for schedule flexibility + they’re home with you every single night! 🤍

It’s a 20-28 day program. We work M-F & you set your own drop off and pick up times!

This is the ONLY program I offer that I also will do off leash training with!

All week long I’m going to share more information regarding Daycare Training, what it entails, our focus, & more…. So stay tuned!

Even I can’t resist kissing their little faces sometimes. It’s just that it also sometimes bites me in the… face 😜

Puppies are basically little velociraptors that we’re trying to figure out how to coexist with. Let me help. 😆

Choosing Puppy Pre-K allows your dog to learn what we want from them at an early & impressionable age!

It’s not that we *can’t* teach an old dog new tricks; it just makes everyone’s life easier if we stop some of those unwanted behaviors & bad habits before they really even start! 😜

This program also focuses on socialization in areas like grooming, handling for veterinary care, etc. & while that may not seem like the #1 item on YOUR personal complaint list, I promise the professionals in your dog’s life will thank you later! 🐾😆

This is my personal pup - Snoop Dogg! 🫶🏼 I started working with him the day I brought him home and used meal time as an opportunity for short, fun, fast paced training sessions!

That’s our goal with Puppy Pre-K too… making training work for YOU!

If your puppy is between the ages 10 weeks - 25 weeks, listen up 😆

Puppy Pre-K is a 10 day *daycare* program (2 weeks, M-F, no overnight stays!) designed to help your puppy get started on all of the basics!
At the end of the program, we have a lesson together to show you everything they learned & how to continue to maintain it at home!
