Our 12-week started puppy training program is thoughtfully designed to give your puppy a solid foundation in manners, obedience, and socialization. Beginning at 8 weeks of age and continuing through 20 weeks, this program sets puppies up for long-term success in their new homes. During this time, puppies are crate trained, exposed to a variety of environments, and introduced to people of all ages and other animals. They learn all the essential obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, wait, and place. We also focus on loose-leash walking, teaching them to heel calmly on the left side, making outings enjoyable and stress-free for both the puppy and their future family.
One of the most valuable aspects of our program is teaching puppies how to settle in any environment—a skill that takes them from reactive to relaxed, regardless of their surroundings. Whether in a busy store, at a vet visit, or relaxing at a café, our started puppies consistently show a calm, composed presence that turns heads. It’s not uncommon for people to assume they’re older, highly trained dogs because of their mature demeanor in public. This emotional regulation and poise are what truly set our program—and our puppies—apart.
