4-WEEK BEGINNER
PUPPY PRESCHOOL

SAY 'GOODBYE' TO THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS!

It's common knowledge that the first few weeks of puppy ownership aren't for the faint of heart!

Our Level 1 Puppy Preschool Program covers everything your puppy should learn in the weeks of having your new puppy at home. Our main focus is to eliminate the worst of your puppy's potty and crate training. We also take the puppy out to do some socialization, which helps your puppy form positive associations with the world around them. Obedience cues are introduced using positive methods to teach your puppy to love training and listening to you! Below you find a synopsis of each thing included with our Level 1 Puppy Preschool Program and what you can expect. 

Training is based on availability of trainers and can be added on at the time of litter commitment!

HOW IT WORKS

​​

  • After we have matched you with the perfect puppy for you, if you have already purchased training for your puppy, we will go over any questions you may have and then assign your puppy a trainer based on availability

  • Price of training is added to the cost of your puppy. Balances for both your puppy and the full amount of training are due at puppy's seven week birthday. Additional days/weeks/months can be added on for the rate listed above.

  • Your puppy will graduate Puppy Culture and enroll formal training at 8 weeks of age, and complete training at 12 weeks, or 3 months old.

  • Puppy will be living with one of our JLDD Puppy Trainers 24/7 for 4 weeks.

  • After Puppy Preschool is complete, you receive instruction from your puppy's trainer explaining your puppy's schedule, nuances, routines, and will help assist you with how to best transition your puppy into your household.

  • Please expect some transition issues with your puppy in the first few weeks as they are still a baby. You will be asked to schedule a zoom session with our head trainer prior to your puppy's arrival home. This session is meant to assist you as your puppy assimilates into its new life with you!

  • We understand that training never really ends with a puppy! They will need practice and reinforcement until at least 1 to 2 years of age. 

  • If your puppy is has not met our expectations by the time their graduation date arrives, they will be kept in preschool free of charge until they have satisfied the expectation.
