What we cover in four weeks

The first two weeks

Helping your puppy transition can be challenging, so our first two weeks are intensive.  We follow developmental milestones, advancing every three days, so your puppy gets the support they need and is expertly guided and honored in the process.
Sticking to the schedule is essential to ensure your puppy continues progressing without regressing.

  • Exercise-Pen training

The last two weeks puppy charm school

As the four-week program progresses, we begin to notice the puppies getting the hang of their routine. They’ve had the extra time to adapt and become accustomed to the process, which we understand can be a lot for them. We are also here to help them feel at ease with the crate, which we know can make a big difference when you bring your new furry friend home. Additionally, they’ve had more time to learn manners class and are making great strides with clicker training!

Carefully following our sequential process, we expand on each skill:

  • Scheduling
  • Intro to Crate – advance to alone in the crate – daytime
  • Exercise-Pen training
  • Alone-time
  • Potty Training with our indoor potty box & scheduled outdoor potty trip

  • Expand Car Rides to Field Trips to the Nursing Home!  Beginning Therapy Dog work

How Does Your Waitlist Work?

Our breeding plans are divided into spring/summer and fall/winter seasons

Our waitlist operates on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by signing the contract and receiving the deposit, whichever occurs last. Our waitlists are separated by dog size and season, so you’ll be placed on the waitlist for a specific dog size. As we usually have more than one litter due at the same time we will combine selection for all puppies at the same time.  

If you’re unsure about the best size for you, don’t worry – we’ll assist you in figuring it out.
