10-day (consecutive daily) training-social program for pups 7-16 weeks old by an experienced behavior consultant
occurring in a home-daycare setting providing exposure to basic obedience commands, crate training, bite inhibition, social
skills, novel situations and acceptance of handling and grooming. The concept is that puppies can receive intensive experiences
that are difficult for working owners to provide during the critical imprinting period.
We provide individual attention and alert owners to potential problems
that they may not see during the puppy’s early stages. While you are at work, we are your eyes, ears and voices as
if they were home with you. During the day, training is facilitated while the puppies receive exposure to a variety of
novel experiences the average companion dog should experience: vacuums, dishwashers, stairs, cats, strangers, kids, different
surfaces, animal interactions, car trips to new places and more. By providing the sessions in our home daycare environment,
the puppies are exposed to every day things sooner who would otherwise be sitting home alone or at a commercial daycare lacking
skilled employees $350/10 days includes 8 classes free to follow, discount on future dayare and boarding and free Happy Hour
attendance while involved with any training. Also qualifies your dog to particpate in Sunday agilities. Professional
Agility Equipment for all ages and sizes.

Learn the personality characteristics and conformation features a puppy will have for life to determine
if that puppy is the right one for you. We test for temperament characteristics such as human interaction, submission/dominance,
sociability, forgiveness, pain threshhold, retrieve drive, gun shyness, fighting drive, and intelligence. Knowing a puppy's
temperament in advance can help you make the best decision about your new family member.
Canine Bed and Breakfast
Kenneling without the kennel. Your pet is welcomed and treated equally to mine: romps, errand running,
hugs, sleeping inside, etc. Existing clients are given priority when considering in-house overnight(s) stays as space allows.
New clients are eligible for consideration as space allows; however, screening will be done to ensure your canine will be
able to interact appropriately in a home setting. References may be required. Space is limited to ensure quality care -- make
your reservations early.
