4-WEEK 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.
