Puppy Foundation

The Puppy Foundation has been created to help nurture and effectively train good behaviors for puppies six months or younger. This foundation lesson focuses on all things puppy, including potty training, crate training, basic focus, house manners, puppy nutrition, and basic health.

Adolescent Foundation

The teenage phase of a dog’s life can be challenging. This phase of a dog’s life is so important as they are mentally maturing, allowing us to train them to a much higher level. Just like their human counterparts, many adolescent dogs can become more rebellious, anxious, and generally frustrating. This foundation lesson is geared specifically towards the adolescent phase and covers more information on the dog’s mind, how they interpret the world, how they learn, social skills, and general socialization. It also covers more in-depth training material to ensure obedience training creates reliable commands.

Standard Foundation

This foundation lesson is great for any dog over two years old. Just because a dog has a late start does not mean it's too late. During this lesson, we cover a wide variety of subjects, including your dog’s history, daily issues, training methods, training gear, social skills, basic nutrition, basic health, and a great deal of handler education material to aid you in moving forward with your dog’s training and continuing to ensure a high quality of life for them.
