Puppy Program

If you’re heading out of town and need a safe place for your young puppy, we offer gentle, in-home care that helps them build good habits from the very beginning. Your puppy will follow a steady routine with regular outdoor potty breaks, crate and sleep training, age-appropriate socialization, and opportunities to learn basic commands throughout the day. You’ll also receive daily updates so you always know how your puppy is doing.

This is a great option for working families who know their puppy isn’t quite ready to be home alone for long stretches. It also helps on busy days or big events when you don’t want your puppy left on their own. Your puppy gets gentle structure throughout the day, living in our homes among our animals and family. This includes basic potty training, crate training, early leash work, simple commands and manners, and social engagement and field trip exposure.

Want to get ready for your new puppy?

This service includes a pre-puppy phone call, help choosing the right puppy, a full home setup plan, and an easy-to-follow puppy schedule. Once your puppyI comes, I’ll walk you through basic commands, sleep training, and crate training so you feel confident from day one. You’ll also follow-up video calls and texting support for questions.

This is a helpful option for puppies who need practice walking calmly on a leash and staying focused around distractions. We’ll work on engagement, name recognition, and the basics of loose-leash walking, along with getting your puppy comfortable in a well-fitted harness. These early foundations make outings easier and more enjoyable as your puppy grows. Usually requires a few sessions. 

Has your puppy outgrown our program but you still need occasional help. This option is for those unexpected moments when you can’t get home and need someone to check on your puppy. I’ll stop by for a quick potty break, feeding, a short walk, and a general check-in. I’ll take care of any small clean-up as part of the visit and send a picture and update so you know your puppy is doing just fine until you’re back.

If you just need help troubleshooting a few puppy behaviors or want some one-on-one guidance, this option gives you focused support from the begining. We can work on whatever your puppy is struggling with—potty routines, crate questions, biting, chewing, or early manners—and I’ll walk you through simple, gentle ways to get things on track.
