As longtime pup parents ourselves, we know what dogs most commonly react to, so we go above and beyond to ensure they experience a wide range of encounters—such as meeting new people wearing hats or carrying large toys. For additional one-on-one training, puppies can have our thirty-minute day-training added to any daycare or boarding stay, even while enrolled in our pre-school.
