2 – Week Puppy Potty Training & Imprinting Obedience
This program is for puppies 8 weeks to 16 weeks old. We will start your dog off in the right direction to avoid problems behaviors and so much more?
We will start crate training your puppy and putting a good solid foundation for housebreaking your new puppy. We will also start imprinting all of the obedience commands so your puppy has a true understanding as to what you truly are expecting from them. Puppies don’t understand what you want. We have to teach them the words and make them understand the meaning.
You can’t ask a new puppy to sit if he/she has no idea what you want correct? Well, that is what imprinting is all about we start to imprint all the words so your puppy has a true meaning to the things we as owners want.
This program is designed for two levels and cost is based off what you as the client want.
Level 1
Crate Training
Starting a good solid foundation for housebreaking
Putting your new puppy on a feeding schedule

Level 2 includes level 1
Imprinting Obedience commands
♦ Sit
♦ Down
♦ Come
♦ Walking on leash
♦ Off – No jumping
♦ No – for any unwanted behaviors like play biting and chewing
Please understand puppies at a young age DO NOT have an attention span long enough to hold a sit, down for any longer than a few seconds. Imprinting allows for the puppy to understand the meaning of our language and demands. It also makes for easier training when your dog attention span start to develop.
3-Week Obedience

Dogs with severe or more consistent behavior issues will be referred to one of our behavior modifications programs.

4 week Severe Behavior/Aggression Rehabilitation
The real deal program. This program is on a case-by-case basis. This program requires a one-time Evaluation of your dog. Cost of evaluation is $175.00 that will be applied to the program if your pet is accepted into the program.
Our severe behavior board-and-train is specifically made for dogs that are exhibiting intense dog or human aggression, reactivity, biting and other behaviors deemed dangerous to the dog and those around it.
In our severe behavior program, we try put and end to aggressive and destructive behavior and address the underlying causes. Our methods are built to ensure not only the behaviors not come back with appropriate maintenance, but that we also leave the dog happier and more secure than when we found it. Time and time again we have put a stop to previously uncontrollable reactivity and aggression towards humans, leaving clients with peace of mind and a top-tier maintenance game plan to follow.
The sever behavior program may also be good fit for dogs with more intense fear and anxiety and other destructive behaviors. In addition to tackling unwanted behaviors, dogs in this program will also work on core obedience detailed in our other packages, and fine-tune other less sever behavioral concerns.
