If this sounds like you...

  • Your puppy bounces on guests like they’ve just found their new best friend or barks at you the second you've sit down.

  • They’ve turned your shoes, furniture, clothes, and your hands into chew toys.

  • On walks, there’s no in-between—your puppy either flops like a pancake or zooms after every person, dog, squirrel, and leaf in sight.

  • You’ve watched the videos, bought the treats, maybe even tried a class, but your puppy is still running the show.

  • You just want to relax, welcome visitors, and enjoy everyday life with your new puppy.

​You’re not alone; you're just raising a puppy— and there’s a better way forward.

Where Puppies Go To Raise The Woof!

The first 3 to 16 weeks of your puppy’s development are crucial in shaping their future behavior. We raise calm and confident puppies through the power of games—because learning sticks when it’s fun. 
That’s how we create lasting behavior change for dogs and their people!

Our comprehensive, rewards-based programs are designed for puppies and adolescents (8 weeks to 2 years of age). It focuses on confidence-building, impulse control, and self-regulation, helping to prevent fear, reactivity, and aggression later in life.
 
Socialization goes beyond simply meeting new people and dogs—it’s about creating positive experiences that teach your puppy to navigate the world with resilience and choice. With the right foundation, your puppy will grow into a secure, self-regulated companion, ready to take on life each day with confidence—knowing you’re always in their corner as their dedicated guardian.
