Let's be real: puppies are hard. Way harder than most people expect. The Instagram photos show cute fluffballs. Nobody shows you the 3am potty trips, the destroyed shoes, the bleeding hands from needle-sharp teeth, or the screaming when you try to crate them.
But here's what you need to know: every single puppy problem is fixable. Biting? We stop it. Potty accidents? We fix them. Crying in the crate? Gone. Jumping on people? Done. In just 1-2 weeks, we transform wild puppies into calm, well-behaved dogs that actually listen.
The Critical Window You Can't Miss
Your puppy is in the "critical socialization period" right now—roughly 8-16 weeks old. This is when their brain is a sponge, soaking up everything about the world. What they learn (or don't learn) during this window shapes their behavior for LIFE. Training now prevents problems that would take months to fix later. Don't wait.
Our Puppy Jump Start programs give your puppy the foundation they need for a lifetime of good behavior. Your puppy lives with a professional trainer, receives hands-on training every single day, and comes home a different dog. You get to skip the frustrating trial-and-error phase and jump straight to having a great puppy.

Get Started →What Your Puppy Learns
Potty Training Done Right
No more stepping in surprise puddles. We establish a consistent routine that teaches your puppy when and where to go. Most puppies show dramatic improvement in potty training within the first week. You'll learn exactly how to maintain the routine at home so accidents become a thing of the past.
Crate Training Without the Drama
The crate should be your puppy's happy place—not a torture chamber. We teach puppies that the crate is safe, comfortable, and actually enjoyable. No more screaming. No more guilt. Just a puppy who settles calmly in their crate when needed.
Socialization That Prevents Future Problems
Undersocialized puppies become fearful, reactive adult dogs. We expose your puppy to different people, dogs, sounds, surfaces, and environments in a positive way. This builds confidence that lasts a lifetime and prevents aggression problems down the road.
Foundation Commands
Your puppy learns four essential commands using positive marker training: come, sit, place, and down. These aren't just tricks—they're the foundation for everything else. A puppy who comes when called is a puppy you can trust. A puppy who knows "place" has an off-switch.
Why board and train for puppies? Because consistency is everything. Puppies need the same rules, enforced the same way, every single time. When your puppy lives with a trainer for 1-2 weeks, they get that perfect consistency. No mixed signals. No confusing exceptions. Just clear, consistent training that creates lasting habits.
What Happens During Training
Wondering what your puppy's days look like? Here's the journey:
Drop-Off & Assessment
You bring your puppy to our facility. We get to know them, understand their personality, and assess where they're starting from. We discuss your goals and answer your questions. Then you leave and we get to work!
Foundation Building
We establish routines for potty training and crate training. Your puppy starts learning that good things come from paying attention to humans. We begin introducing basic commands and proper socialization.
Skills & Confidence
Commands become more reliable. Potty accidents decrease dramatically. Your puppy gains confidence through positive experiences with new people, places, sounds, and surfaces. Habits start to solidify.
Reinforcement & Polish
Extra time allows deeper habit formation. Commands become even more reliable. We proof behaviors in more challenging environments. Your puppy gets more socialization experiences. Everything gets stronger.
Owner Handoff Session
This is crucial. We show you exactly how your puppy responds, demonstrate all the commands, and teach you how to maintain everything at home. You leave confident and equipped to continue your puppy's success.

Growing With Your Dog
Puppy training is just the beginning. As your dog grows, you might want to consider these related programs:
Board and Train for Adult Dogs
Once your puppy graduates from Jump Start and grows up, our adult board and train programs ($1,500-$3,500) take training to the next level. Full off-leash obedience, advanced commands, and 100% reliability with distractions. The foundation your puppy builds now makes advanced training even easier later.
Preventing Aggression Problems
Proper puppy socialization is the #1 way to prevent adult aggression problems. Dogs that miss the critical socialization window often become fearful or reactive. By training your puppy now, you're investing in a confident, friendly adult dog who doesn't need behavior intervention later.
Therapy Dog Potential
Some puppies have the perfect temperament for therapy dog work. If your puppy is naturally calm, friendly, and loves people, therapy dog certification could be in their future. The early training and socialization from our puppy programs creates the ideal foundation for therapy work later.
Puppy Training Questions
How old does my puppy need to be?
Puppies can start our Jump Start programs at 12-16 weeks old, once they've had their basic vaccinations. This is actually the ideal time—your puppy is in the critical socialization window when they learn fastest. The earlier you start, the better the results.
Will my puppy be safe staying with a trainer?
Absolutely. Your puppy stays with an experienced professional who specializes in puppy development. We ensure age-appropriate training (short sessions with lots of rest), proper socialization with vaccinated dogs only, and constant supervision. Your puppy's safety and wellbeing are our top priority.
Which program should I choose—1 week or 2 weeks?
The 1-week program is great for puppies who need a solid foundation and owners who want to continue training at home. The 2-week program is better if you want more reinforcement time, have a particularly challenging puppy, or want the strongest possible habits before bringing them home.
Will my puppy be fully potty trained after the program?
Most puppies show dramatic improvement—many are 90%+ reliable. But puppies are still puppies. You'll need to maintain the routine at home. We teach you exactly how to do that during the handoff session. With consistency, most puppies become fully reliable within a few weeks of returning home.
What if my puppy cries when I leave them?
Totally normal! Puppies adjust quickly—usually within the first day or two. They're so busy with training, play, and new experiences that they don't have time to be sad. We can send photo updates if it helps ease your mind. Most owners are surprised how quickly their puppy settles in.
Can you stop my puppy from biting?
Yes! Puppy biting is completely normal but needs proper redirection. We teach puppies that human skin is off-limits through consistent feedback and providing appropriate outlets for chewing. Most puppies dramatically reduce biting within the first week. You'll learn the techniques to maintain this at home.
What vaccinations does my puppy need before starting?
Your puppy should have at least their first two rounds of DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) vaccinations. We'll confirm vaccination status at drop-off. This protects your puppy and the other dogs they'll meet during socialization.
Give Your Puppy the Best Start
The puppy phase doesn't last forever—but the habits formed during this time do. Give your puppy the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. Stop the biting, the accidents, and the chaos. In just 1-2 weeks, we'll transform your wild puppy into the calm, well-behaved dog you dreamed of. Call now for a free consultation.
