Puppy Program
Give your pup the perfect start to life on the farm with our comprehensive Farm Dog Puppy Program. Designed for puppies 4 months to 6 months old, this two-phase board and train builds confidence, obedience, and real-world farm skills—plus includes equipment, unlimited refreshers, follow-up lessons, and lifetime support. From leash manners to livestock neutrality, we prepare your dog to be a calm, capable, and reliable farm companion.
Confidence and Foundation Program
This two-week board and train is the perfect first step for young pups beginning their farm dog journey. We focus on building confidence, establishing routine, and introducing basic on-leash obedience in a safe, structured environment. Your puppy will experience early exposure to farm life, equipment, and new settings—laying the groundwork for a calm, well-adjusted, and trainable companion.
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!​
