(Puppy Adjustment to World Stimuli)

15-day (consecutive daily) training-social program for pups ideally 8-14 weeks (will consider older pups) 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 $375/15 days includes 8 free classes, 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.

Fenced acre with room to play and interact, while learning proper socialization skills with other canines, during both structured and unstructured play. This situation will help build confidence, social skills, and acceptance, while burning off energy. Screening will be done to ensure your canine will be able to interact appropriately.

Breed Selection (Best breed for you)
Gini - A Shiloh Shepherd Puppy
Puppy Temperament Testing

Lots of criteria and no idea where to start? Clueless as to what breed is appropriate for your lifestyle? Counseling guidance and help locating breeders available. Puppy type and temperament testing before purchase also available.
 
After you decide on the best breed for you, we'll help you locate an excellent breeder that you can be sure will provide the type of dog and the breeder support you desire.
 
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
Kiera & Teddy Resting Together

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.
