Evaluation by Trainer supervisor that the Goals for STARTER puppy program have been achieved.
Puppies will be Progressing and adding predictability to the potty training process. They will require a great deal of attention to continue the potty training in your home, as well as reinforcement of all the rules we have been working on with them. Please keep in mind, that it is not possible for a puppy to be reliably house-trained until the puppy has matured, which is usually between the ages of 6-8 months. If you desire a house trained puppy with little or no work on your part, then you need to consider our Complete Companion Dog Program.
Your puppy will be on a schedule of eating, drinking, and going potty to make house training much easier. This schedule is based on your puppy’s needs at this point in training. You will receive a copy of this schedule.
Your puppy will be crate trained. Meaning in most cases, your puppy can hold potty 8 hours overnight and for a few hours during the day and should remain quiet.
Puppies benefit from additional socialization, which means a more well-rounded puppy.
Your puppy will know the feedback words of “good”, “nope”, and “okay” to aid in communication.
Problems such as jumping up, mouthing (puppy nipping), and chewing will be pretty well under control.
Your puppy will be familiar with taking and following treats and wearing a collar and leash. Many new puppy owners do not realize how important this is in the training process, and that this does not come naturally to a puppy. It must be taught before the puppy can progress in his/her training.
Your puppy will have a good understanding of the obedience commands of knowing his name, “sit”, “down”, “come”, “touch” to say “hi”, and “leave it” at the basic level. Your puppy will be comfortable walking on a leash.
Your puppy will be introduced to basic grooming and maintenance such as brushing, ear cleaning, nail trimming.
Your puppy will receive age-appropriate vaccinations and dewormer as they apply to your puppy’s health schedule while in training.
We are dedicated to providing the right puppy for your family.
If at any time the puppy develops behaviors that we do not feel are suitable for your family, we will advise you immediately and look for a more suitable puppy for your family. We want you and your puppy to be the PERFECT match.
