Potty Training

Your trainer will teach the process to your puppy to go potty outside instead of in the house or in their crate at night. Your puppy will establish a routine to help their potty training habits. We begin imprinting on your puppy to learn to become a better communicator and to notify you when it is time for them to go out and potty. This may be done by sitting and waiting or ringing a bell. You may make specific requests regarding bell training or pee pad training for your new puppy to learn. By the end of this program your puppy’s chance of going home and having an accident is minimized for a smooth transition. 

Crate Training

Your puppy will start to learn how to voluntarily go into their crate when asked and make their crate their personal safe place, as well as the place where they sleep at night and during nap time during the day. This is very important for puppy development. They will be very comfortable with their crate and will learn not cry and whimper while in the crate.
