Puppy 101

Our unique stay and train experience is for puppies between 16 weeks and 6 months of age. Your puppy will spend 100% of their time in our training program, which includes heavy doses of structure, routine, dog socialization, and play.

Through staying here at our new Doggieology101 facility for 14-28 days (depending on the program), your puppy will develop a new foundation and state-of-mind that will make it easy for you to continue the training. This will empower you to continue developing a new and incredible relationship with your dog as he/she grows up! This program is designed especially for young pups that will give them an excellent foundation of the rules, boundaries and limitations of living with their human families. We have 3 Puppy Program Options: 

The Blue: Pup's Age: (Any age)

One Foundational/Framework Home Visit, Follow-Up Visits to work on continued obedience (qty -your choice) either at your home or at D101 until you feel you're ready to proceed on your own. Of course, you can always schedule Follow-Ups or Refresher training as needed.

Part 2- Pup's Age (13-14 Weeks) Pups will live here with us AT Doggieology101 for 14 days. Work sessions are kept very short because of very short attention spans.
