Now is the Time to do Puppy Training

  • The best time to train a puppy is from 8-weeks to 6-months.
    This developmental stage is the most critical period in a puppy’s life for learning self-confidence, socialization skills, and manners. The socialization period closes between 14-16 weeks!
  • Don’t wait until this critical time is over to consult an expert.
    Books can be confusing, advice from family and friends might not suit your puppy, but our puppy training is perfectly customized to your puppy’s temperament, personality and needs.
  • You don’t have the time, but we do!
    Your puppy will work daily with professional trainers and pet care technicians. Let us train your puppy correctly at this crucial early stage to set them up for a happy, healthy and well mannered life.
  • Socialization, Socialization, Socialization
    Studies prove proper socialization in the first few months of a puppy’s life can greatly decrease the chance of behavior issues later in life. (AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization) Our veterinarian recommended train and play program is designed to set a strong socialization foundation with people and dogs.

We know you’re ready! What is your choice going to be?
