Puppy programs are a good start, and they're *prevention* A well socialized puppy will be a better adjusted adult dog. With years of experience raising show dogs and sport dogs, let us help you raise the perfect pal. The sensitive socialization period closes for most breeds at 16 weeks, so early intervention is vital for success with your puppy.

Your puppy will *NOT* be fully trained after this program. However you will receive a lower price point for your next program. This program does proper socialization for you, a value you will not know, unless you've known what it's like owning a fearful, timid and fractious dog. This program strives to prevent these issues.

BOARD AND TRAIN PACKAGES

Adult Dog Board and Train Packages

You're fed up with the jumping, pulling on leash and unruly, bonkers behavior. You just wish your dog was enjoyable. You don't have time to take a class to teach your dog to stay, you don't have the energy and your dog is jumping all over every guest to your house. Our adult dog programs can be customized to meet your lifestyle and needs. And the best part, you don't have to learn to be a trainer yourself. At the beginning we will meet to plan for everything we will teach your dog. At the end of your program you'll get in-home lessons and/or in-facility lessons to show you how to maintain and reinforce what your dog has learned.

About board and train programs: Training a dog is not something you want to rush into two weeks or guarantee results. Our dogs are living creatures and the "quick fix" places that are putting undue stress on a dog to get them to perform or submit to the pressures of quick training are unfair and rush through a learning phase. Our goal is to provide a Wiser, kinder more wholistic board and train offering for Louisville, KY. Our programs include in home training, and lessons where you're learning side by side with your dog what they've learned. Your dog will stay with us in our house (guest room set up for dogs) at night and in our training building during the day for training sessions.
