Puppy Elementary Training is designed to take the core foundation from Puppy Kindergarten, start to add real- world applications and solidify the habits/ training.

**Your puppy is not fully inoculated until 16 weeks of age.  Because. of this we do not take your puppy on outside field trips.  If an outside trip is deemed necessary (vet visits, etc.), the puppy will be carried and not allowed contact with  the ground.

​

This is an exceptional package and value for the money.  In addition to the training mentioned above, it includes any vaccination booster shots needed during their stay, boarding and food.

​

This is an introduction to the core boundaries and training foundation for a successful future.  We will go through each of the exercises with you as well so you can continue training at home.  Consistency and time dedication is critically important to continue to solidify the training.  We do offer additional training to help advance your puppy even further.
