Boarding and Training

Boarding

In the event you are not able to pick your puppy up on the scheduled take-home date, a daily boarding fee will be included in the final price of the puppy. Puppies will have a daily kennel fee of $55.00/ day to cover expenses. We will keep puppies up to 2 weeks.

1-Week Crate and Leash Familiarization $700.00

This is a wonderful program devised to help your new puppy get familiar with confinement and walking on a leash. The individual training starts 1 week prior to your puppy coming home. Your puppy will have multiple short training sessions daily which include: supervised crating, eating and napping in crate, self-crating experiences (where the puppy chooses to go into their crate on their own). After 3 days, your puppy will start sleeping in the crate at night. Your puppy will also be introduced to a harness and a leash. Your puppy will wear their harness during individual play sessions with a handler, which focuses on the follow me game. We make sure that walking on a leash is a fun and rewarding experience. Payment is due at puppy pick-up.

Your puppy will come home with a crate, a crate pad, harness and leash.

3-Week Puppy Manners Camp - $3000

This program is an exceptional training program for those who would like their puppy to come home with a little extra knowledge and maturity. It starts after the puppy take-home date and continues for 3 weeks. Your puppy will have multiple short daily training sessions. During the 3 weeks your puppy will work on:

  • Potty Training. We will start your puppy on the path to success in housebreaking. We also teach your puppy to potty on leash, a great skill to have on days you are running short on time or the weather is bad.
  • Crate Training. Being familiar with the crate gives your puppy a safe place to go and be comfortable. Even if you decide not to use a crate in your home, there are times in a dog’s life they might have to be contained, like at the vet or in case of emergencies. Your puppy will find a stressful situation less so if they are comfortable being contained.
  • Leash Training. We focus on loose leash walking. Your puppy will start his or her education to walk without pulling.
  • Basic Commands. Your puppy will learn basic commands such as Watch Me, Wait, Sit, Down, Come and Off.

We will provide video updates twice weekly so you can see the progress of your puppy.

Your puppy will come home with a collar and leash, a 30" or 36" create, a 34 pound bag of food, a month's supply of NuVet vitamins, Nuvet Puppy shampoo, NuVet Oatmeal Conditioning spray, and Nuvet Stain and Odor Remover.

You will have the opportunity to meet Kim at our home when you pick up your puppy and she can answer your questions in person as they pertain to your puppy's training.

Payment in full is due with puppy payment, prior to the start of training.

Puppies must be insured with Trupanion or another insurance company prior to entering training. Trupanion has a 30 day free policy which can be signed up for before camp begins and cancelled after camp is finished, if you so desire. We will send details and a code to sign up after the camp deposit is made.

We encourage you to make a deposit as soon as possible as our training spots fill up early. There is a $200 (+ $6 fee) non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. We will confirm your reservation after we receive the deposit payment.
