Puppies

Our puppy experts meet you and your puppy in your home for the behavior assessment. This assessment is the starting point for all our puppy programs and is based on your puppy's age, training goals and behavior concerns.


  • For puppies 8-14 weeks old, we start with Puppy Assessment 1 and then we will get your puppy started in the Puppy Preschool Program. Our program sets the foundation for all the adventures you want to have with your puppy.
  • For puppies 15 weeks-10 months old, we start with Puppy Assessment 2 and then we will get your puppy started in the Buddy Basics Program.This program focuses on adolescent dogs that need help with general obedience and impulse control. It is not suitable for dogs that show fear around strangers, separation anxiety, resource guarding or reactivity towards other dogs on walks.
