Puppy Training Program
Bringing home a new puppy should be exciting, not overwhelming. As dedicated dog breeders, we are proud to offer a puppy training program, a premium upgrade available through our partnership with a certified professional dog trainer.
This limited- availability option allows families to welcome home a 12-week-with a strong foundation of early training, confidence-building experiences, and age-appropriate skills, setting both puppy and owner up for long-term success.
What Makes This a Premium Option?
This program is intentionally limited to ensure each puppy receives consistent, individualized attention during a critical developmental stage. Not all puppies are eligible, and availability depends on training capacity and scheduling.
By choosing this option, families benefit from:
– Professional early foundation training
– Reduced stress during the first weeks at home
– A smoother transition into family life
– Guidance on how to continue training successfully

Husbandry & Handling Foundations

This program focuses on early learning, routine development, and confidence, not advanced or finished training.
A Smooth Transition Home
Your puppy will go home at approximately 12 weeks of age with age-appropriate foundational training and early life skills that help ease the transition into family life.
While no puppy is ever “fully trained,” this program significantly reduces many of the early challenges new puppy owners face and provides a strong starting point for continued training at home.
A one-hour transition session is included at pickup. During this session, you will:
– Review your puppy’s training progress
– Demonstrate key skills
– Provide guidance on maintaining and reinforcing training at home
Interested in a Trained Puppy?
The program is designed to last approximately four weeks. In some cases, a puppy may benefit from additional training time to further develop foundational skills.
If this occurs, families will be given the option to:
– Extend training for an additional fee, or
– Take their puppy home as scheduled and continue training independently
Any extension is optional and will be discussed in advance.
This is a limited premium upgrade. Availability varies by litter and training schedule. Pricing is provided by personalized quote. Email us to inquire about availability and pricing.
We’re happy to answer any questions and help you decide if this option is right for your family.
Please note: While four weeks is the expected length of the training program, occasional puppies may require additional time to fully meet training goals. Training outcomes vary by puppy and are influenced by temperament, consistency, and continued reinforcement at home. This program provides early foundational training and does not guarantee specific behaviors or long-term results.
