What is Covered:
The Six-Week Program is perfect for families looking for a well-rounded, immersive training experience. This program allows us to build strong foundations, refine behaviors, and introduce more advanced skills. With extra time for practice and reinforcement, we can focus on distraction work, public outings, and polishing commands in real-world environments. This program is ideal for puppies who need additional time to work on confidence, socialization, or overcoming behavioral challenges.
Potty Training
The Six-Week Program provides an excellent opportunity for consistent progress with potty training. We focus on teaching your puppy where to potty, building strong habits, and starting to reinforce reliable indication when they need to go out. With additional time, we are able to further solidify these habits, reduce accidents, and help puppies hold their bladder longer based on age and development.
Commands
The Six-Week Program allows us to teach and reinforce foundational commands such as sit, down, stay, place, come, leave it, and more. With extra time for repetition and practice, we can build reliability, extend duration, and introduce distractions. We also customize command work to meet your specific goals, ensuring your puppy is well-prepared to respond in real-life situations.
Crate Training
During the Six-Week Program, we help puppies view the crate as a safe, comfortable space. We work on extended rest periods, building duration, and ensuring puppies are comfortable spending time alone. For puppies who are still adjusting to the crate, this program allows for gradual progress, including longer overnight stretches. If your puppy struggles with separation anxiety or crate anxiety, the additional time provides the opportunity for a more patient, confidence-building approach.
Socialization & Desensitization
The Six-Week Program is ideal for introducing puppies to new experiences and building their confidence. We focus on positive exposure to people, sounds, surfaces, and environments, as well as desensitizing puppies to common triggers like loud noises, handling, and unfamiliar settings. With extra time, we can work on building resilience and adaptability, especially for puppies who need more support overcoming fear or anxiety.
Leash Training
The Six-Week Program provides ample time to develop strong leash skills. We introduce loose leash walking and “heel” and advance to working around distractions, including public settings. Puppies practice walking politely without pulling, maintaining focus, and responding to leash cues in more challenging environments. By the end of this program, your puppy will have a strong foundation for enjoyable, distraction-free walks.

​
Obedience
In the Six-Week Program, we focus on reinforcing good manners and addressing common behavioral challenges like jumping, barking, and play biting. We work on impulse control and teach your puppy appropriate alternatives to unwanted behaviors. The additional time allows us to practice these skills around distractions, creating more consistency and helping your puppy learn to make good choices in a variety of situations.
