Puppy Imprinting
This program is geared to puppies under 6 months of age at the start of the program. If you have an older dog and are seeking a board and train please send us a message to discuss options and training outline.
What is it?
Our Imprinting program trains your pup 24/7 for 4 to 8 weeks. They are trained in a family environment with lots of playtime, training and outdoor adventures. We allow your dog to be a dog during their crucial development period. We take care of the must do puppy training items, crate training, recall, leash walking and house breaking during those first few weeks. We also socialize your pup with numerous dogs, people, places, and things. Check out the program descriptions below.
The program is 24/7 for 7 days a week or hybrid which means you take your pup home on the weekends with a 1-hour lesson prior to going home each week. Cost for this program is the same for both versions of the program.
What are the benefits?
You receive a well mannered, well socialized puppy who knows all the basics. The skills we cover along with socialization, help to prevent problem behaviours and makes it easier for you and your family to continue the training at home. We will spend time with you during their stay if you visit or are in the area so you can learn the training long the way. You will also receive training information weekly and a personalized training video at the completion of the program to show you how we trained your puppy the basics so you can step in and take over. All my clients receive unlimited phone and e-mail support for the life of their puppy. We use only positive methods to train your puppy so they go home a happy puppy that trusts. We don’t punish we teach!
Our 4 week Program
Crate training, we also get house breaking started for you. Skills covered are: Sit, Down and Stand, Stay, Leave it, Drop it, Intro to Loose leash walking, bite inhibition, emergency recall and socialization. Your puppy is in a family setting with my 3 family dogs and a maximum of 2 other training puppies to ensure lots of one on one training. Your pup gets to play, explore and learn in real life situations. We have daily training sessions that include games and outings to various city locations which safely expose them to as much of the world as possible developing confident and resilient puppies.
Do you have children 12 or under? Ask us about our Family Dog Program that will help you and your kids learn the best way to share your home and train a new puppy safely alongside children.
Our 8 Week Program
Once your puppy completes the basic training your puppy will take those skills on the road under higher distractions. They will learn to show patience and calmness in public places, Loose Leash walking, Go Say Hi, stays from varying distances and longer periods of time, go to your mat/place, intro to off-leash recall and so much more. Depending on the season your puppy will be exposed to water play in local streams and river locations. We do have hikes in various forests in our area, as well as walks in busy downtown city centres year round.
