PUPPY TRAINING PROGRAMS
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PUPPY!
Bringing home a new puppy can feel overwhelming. You want to do things right—but with so much advice out there, it's hard to know where to start. That's where we come in.
Our puppy training programs are made for families who want to give their puppy the best start possible. We begin early, when good habits are easiest to build, and problems are easiest to prevent.
From potty training and meeting new people and pets, to walking nicely on a leash and stopping unwanted behaviors—we'll guide you every step of the way. You'll always know what to do next.

How the Experience Works.
How It Works
- Before You Choose a Puppy
We can assist you in selecting the right breed and temperament for your lifestyle, ensuring your new companion is a perfect fit. - Personal Consultation
Every program begins with a private consultation to understand your goals, household, and expectations. This ensures the experience is customized for your needs. - Living as Part of Our Family
Your puppy joins us around 10 weeks of age and lives in our private home in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan, as a member of our family. This is not a kennel. It is a calm, structured environment where learning happens naturally. - Training and Development
Daily hands-on sessions build obedience, manners, and confidence through consistent, balanced training. - Graduation
Around five months of age, your puppy returns home fully prepared to integrate into your household and lifestyle. - Limited Enrollment
Because each puppy lives in our home, we accept only a few per year. This ensures every puppy receives the highest level of personal attention and care.
The Convenience of Expert Help
You deserve results without disruption. Our experience raising service dog puppies and training clients' puppies means every part of the process is managed with expertise and intention. You will never have to guess, worry, or coordinate details. We provide regular updates, handle all logistics, and deliver a trained, well-adjusted young dog ready for your life.
Clients choose this program because it makes bringing home a new puppy easier. From start to finish, you can relax knowing your puppy is receiving the same level of care and professionalism you expect in every other part of your life.
