In House Training

Dog's come and stay with me for 30 days of intense training.  Prior to arrival we will discuss what your goals are for the dog and what can be achieved in 30 days.  Training varies from basic obedience, show training, problem behaviors, and competition obedience and rally.  If in training for obedience or rally, I will take the dog to a show and put their CD or RN title on them.  Entry fees and travel expenses must be paid by the owner.  Sometime's dogs take longer than a month to prepare them for a title so if you want your dog to stay for a second month of training the rate is discounted.
30 Days of Training:  $600
2nd Month of Training Same Dog:  $350
Please fill the Training Contract out and bring it with you when you drop off your dog.

Puppy Socializing and Potty Training

This is for the breeder or owner who doesn't have the time or desire to socialize and potty train their puppies.  Socializing is such an important aspect of a young puppies life and if not done correctly will impact the dog as an adult and possibly restrict what the dog is capable of achieving.
Puppies come in and are crate trained in my home, live with my family, attend my dog classes, visit children at the school, go to public functions, and attend dog shows with me if I'm going during their visit here.  Puppies are around my children and their friends and socialize and play with other puppies and adult dogs.
30 Days:  $250
The best age for socializing and imprinting is 8-16 weeks of age.

Please fill out the boarding contract and bring it with you when you drop off your puppy.
