TRAINING

Home Life

Your puppy is raised in our home. This means your puppy will be well socialized with men, women, college students, children, bathing, and veterinarians. Your puppy will be exposed to normal living in both the indoors (vacuuming, kids playing, toys) and outdoors (cars, activities such as children playing and mowing in the distance).



Collar Training

Your puppy will be comfortable wearing and sleeping with a collar (a big deal for a little puppy!).



Beginning Crate Training

Probably the most common reasons for stress in a new puppy home are extended housebreaking and chewing. We start you on the road to success with initial crate training. When they go home with you, they will be familiar with their crate, comfortable entering/exiting it, and should be able to spend the night without spoiling the crate (Your puppy will go home with its own small crate)
