Puppies!!!

They're small, innocent, and ADORABLE. 

Until they start getting into the bathroom trash can. 

Or chasing the cat. 

Biting all over your hands and arms. 

Stealing stray shoes, chewing cords, and giving the remote a toothy makeover. 

Having accidents in their crate... and all over the rest of your house. 

The crying, barking, and whining. They hate it when you leave them alone. 

Until they start to make you question your sanity. You thought you were prepared for this! 

You can barely find the time... or the right way to help them learn how to be a GOOD dog. You know that's all they need. They just don't know any better, but it still feels a little bit like they're mocking you. 

And then there's everything else you need to know... what to feed them... what NOT to feed them. How to socialize them... and how NOT to socialize them... to make sure that they grow up to be friendly, polite, and social. 

How to exercise them.. how not to exercise them. 

BUT.......... It's OKAY! It's okay if it's overwhelming. You didn't make a mistake. You've got this. 

You just need a little guidance. A lot of support. A person and community where you can ask all of the questions, and figure out how to navigate puppyhood (and puberty... it's coming) WITHOUT pulling your hair out. 

You've come to the right place. 

Puppy Training Camp

10 weeks to 5 months

For the busier puppy owners out there... the vacationers... the frequent travelers... or maybe those who just want an extra head start. 

Your puppy comes to live with me (I know, scary!!), while they learn all about life. 

It's like summer camp, for your dog. With a ball pit, a dog pool, water misters and a tug station, they'll have tons of fun while they learn, sometimes they'll get to go on lake trips with us too! 

Because I teach pups in a home environment, and limit the number of guest dogs here at one time, it gives me plenty of time to teach your puppy all about good house manners. 

How to be calm and quiet in their crate, how to use the bathroom outside, how to stay off the counters or furniture, to be respectful and polite to the cats, and how to be confident in making good choices. 

We tackle things like chewing, whining, leash training, obedience, swimming lessons (if your puppy is old enough, they get to take lake trips with us!), confidence building, immersive socialization, and so so much more. 

Puppies who participate in Puppy Training Camp, gain automatic access to our FREE dog social classes, which take place every Sunday in Cary!

Want to know how your puppy is progressing? 

I've got you covered. Receive video and photo updates, stay up to date on any concerns I have with their progress, and KNOW that they are in good hands. 

I ALWAYS welcome puppy owners into my home, so that you know where they'll be spending their time. 

Private training is included in ALL Puppy School programs, to make sure you're on the same page too!

Puppy Immersion Course

10 weeks - 5 months

Your pup is so new, and so much a part of your family, that you can't imagine not seeing them for a couple of weeks. 

But you STILL need to get a handle on their puppy antics, make sure they're well socialized, and teach them their manners. 

They're going to be older, and bigger. Sooner than we want them to be. 

But when they are... you want them to come back to you when you call them. Greet your guests politely with no jumping. 

Walk with you nicely on a leash, and be well behaved at the beach, or the downtown events and breweries you plan to take them to. 

This program covers everything you need to know about raising a puppy. From training, socialization, developmental periods, scheduling, dog brain sciency stuff, how to get creative with rewards (not just food!), and even self development to prepare you to be the best dog owner you can be. 

Puppy training focuses on helping you to teach your puppy how to make good choices, not just follow obedience commands. 

We'll meet in your home, your neighborhood, at public parks, or dog friendly stores. We might even meet at the lake, or the beach to make sure that you and your puppy get the chance to practice in the REAL world. 

This program typically lasts 6-12 weeks, and is modified to fit your situation best! 
 

VIP Puppy Program

10 weeks +

This may be the most exclusive, and inclusive program you can find in the area. Even if it weren't, I wouldn't be mad. 

I dream of a day when programs like this are more readily available for everyone, because... they're truly one of a kind. 

One and done style training programs are NOT what dog owners like you need. 

You need consistent support. You need experiences that you'll never forget. And you need to feel like you are a freaking rock star dog owner. 

You want to teach your pup all the basics... and so much more too. We can teach them how to swim, how to paddleboard, how to be pro off leash, and how to be your PERFECT adventure buddy. 

I want you to be me... or... as close to me as you can be. 

I want you to be SO good that you don't need me anymore. 

So become a VIP! 

Give yourself access to 6 months of continuous support. 

Client only excursions that you'll never forget (beach trip, anyone?)

A community of support from other dog owners like you. 

Priority boarding access.

And SO. MUCH. MORE. 

Listing it all here for you might make the servers crash (mostly kidding). 

If you want to go above and beyond, and participate in something that you'll never forget...
