  • -Communication, videos, and photos during your puppy's training as well as follow-up training advice as your puppy adjusts to your home.

Additional Information:

Prices include age appropriate vaccines, deworming, supplies, and food. It is recommended that you express interest early on in the process in order to secure a spot.

These are started puppies who have been introduced to these training points. Every puppy learns at a different rate and will perform differently than the next. They will need continued training in their new home to establish these habits in their home and into adulthood.
