Puppy Bootcamp

A nurturing foundation for a calm, well-mannered companion

PUPPY BOOTCAMP

Puppy Bootcamp is a fully immersive training experience where I handle every aspect of early puppyhood so you feel completely supported when welcoming your new puppy home. From housebreaking and crate training to separation anxiety prevention and socialization, I address the entire spectrum of behavior using thoughtful, intuitive methods in a safe and loving environment. Through gentle behavior modification and structured routines, I establish consistency, build trust, and lay a solid foundation for lifelong success.

Whether you're juggling a demanding schedule, traveling, or simply want to give your puppy the best possible start, I take the reins during this formative stage to create a smooth and stress-free transition into life with your new companion. The result is what many families describe as the greatest gift of all: a calm, manageable, well-adjusted puppy who truly feels at home.

Before Bootcamp begins, we’ll discuss your household dynamics and specific goals so I can create a personalized training approach that suits your unique lifestyle. Understanding how your household functions allows me to develop customized in-home dog care programs that support consistency across the board. Throughout the program, I’ll send daily photos and videos so you can stay connected and enjoy watching your puppy’s growth in real time.

What to Expect

Your puppy will return home calmer, more focused, and eager to please.

They’ll be mostly accident-free, sleeping soundly through the night, chewing appropriate toys, and comfortably joining you on outings or resting peacefully at home.

At the conclusion of Bootcamp, I personally deliver your puppy and guide you and your household through the new schedule and training protocols. You’ll also receive a detailed Owner’s Manual filled with personalized insights, strategies, and a clear roadmap for continued success.

Ongoing support by phone and text ensures that you are never alone as your puppy grows and evolves. Your journey together is personal, and I’m committed to helping you feel confident every step of the way.
