Puppy Program
Give your city pup the best start to becoming a well-mannered urban companion with our City Dog Puppy Program. Designed for puppies 4 months to 1 year old, this two-phase board and train builds confidence, obedience, and real-world skills for life in busy neighborhoods—plus includes equipment, unlimited refreshers, follow-up lessons, and lifetime support. From loose-leash walking to public socialization, we prepare your dog to be calm, confident, and reliable wherever city life takes you.
Confidence and Foundation Program
This two-week board and train is the ideal first step for city pups starting their journey to becoming confident, well-behaved companions. We focus on building confidence, establishing routines, and teaching basic on-leash obedience in a safe, structured environment. Your puppy will gain early exposure to busy urban settings, everyday distractions, and new experiences—laying the foundation for a calm, adaptable, and trainable dog.
The Program
Your dog will thrive in our trainer's home for two weeks, providing an ideal environment for focused training. Each week features a concise session, completed with tailored homework designed to enhance training results. After the program, you'll benefit from an extended go-home session and continued lessons, ensuring your dog's continued success. Once your dog is over 7 months old, they get to come back for our advanced board and train to accelerate all of their skills!​
The Benefit
Many city dog owners struggle with common behavior challenges—but most issues can be prevented with the right foundation. Our two-week Puppy Confidence & Foundations Program is designed to stop unwanted behaviors before they start by building calmness, routine, and trust from day one. With personalized training and real-world urban exposure, we help your pup grow into a confident, well-mannered companion ready to thrive in city life.
Phase 2: Offleash and Beyond
Phase 2 of our City Dog Puppy Program builds on your pup’s foundation by teaching advanced obedience, reliable off-leash control, and strong focus amid real-world distractions. We work on practical urban skills like polite greetings, managing busy sidewalks, handling public spaces, and staying calm around other dogs and people. This phase ensures your pup becomes a confident, trustworthy companion who listens on cue—whether at the park, on the street, or in your home.
The Program
Your dog will thrive in our trainer's home from Monday to Friday, providing an ideal environment for focused training, while weekends will be spent at home to practice and solidify new skills. Each week features a concise go-home session, completed with tailored homework designed to enhance training results. After the program, you'll benefit from an extended go-home session and unlimited follow-up lessons, ensuring your dog's continued success. This program is in high demand and often booked out, please reach out ASAP to get placed on the calendar!
