Puppy Prep School
Puppy Prep School is designed for puppies between the ages of 8 weeks to a year. Puppy training is crucial for the mental health and well being of your dog. Puppies go through several milestones and fear periods in their development. Training allows a puppy to learn more about what their new world is like and feel secure in the process. A well adjusted puppy will translate to a well adjusted family member.

Puppy Prep School consists of dropping your puppy off at our trainer’s home in the morning and picking up in the evening at the agreed window of time. Our five days of consecutive training package is $1000. This package also comes with two, one hour private lessons at the end of the five school days. We have two trainers that provide this service; one is in Leander and one is in NW Austin, you would drop off and pick up each day. There is no obligation to continue or stop per week, it is all based on your needs and preferences. Many owners will choose multiple school packages during adolescence. Your puppy will go with our trainer to public places to socialize and solidify learned behaviors in new environments. Our clients love that our training applies to real-world situations and environments versus a group class that typically meets in the same setting for six weeks. Puppy Prep School is also highly customized to what your dog already knows and their personalities.
