E-Containment system

Pups are taught to stay within boundaries set by flags placed up to a 3/4 acre radius. The remote system uses a safe, pain free static charge to dissuade the pup from approaching the flags. Pup will come with unit. Trainer support includes home visit or remote zoom training. 3 weeks

Crate training

Pups are taught to be comfortable with a kennel for meal times and overnight. Housebreaking can be started with this option, but the results cannot be guaranteed without some transitional training by the new owner. 4 weeks

Light leash work

Pups are taught to use an "Easy-walk" harness for the basics of heeling and walking in sync with people without pulling. Basic obedience commands are started and pups are taught to auto-sit.

Travel preparedness

Feeling safe and secure on the road is important for both you and your canine travel comapnion. Pups will be taught to travel comfortably in either a crate or seat belt (your choice) and be comfortable taking potty breaks on leash. 3 weeks
