Puppy Training – Give Your Pup the Best Start Possible
Raising a puppy is exciting… and a little overwhelming. Between house-training accidents, nipping, chewing, jumping, and leash pulling, it’s easy to feel frustrated. Our positive, reward-based puppy programs help you turn those challenges into confident, well-mannered behavior so you can actually enjoy life with your new best friend.
We offer three flexible paths so you can choose what fits your lifestyle and your puppy’s needs:
Common Puppy Challenges We Solve
House-training accidents
Destructive chewing
Play biting & nipping
Jumping on people
Excessive barking
Pulling on the leash
Fearfulness or shyness
Poor socialization
With clear guidance and consistent, positive methods, you’ll end up with a calm, polite companion instead of a chaotic household.
Private Lessons
Perfect for young puppies (as early as 12 weeks) or families who want one-on-one attention.
Completely customized to your puppy’s personality, breed, and your family’s routine
Focus on the most important early skills: house training, crate training, nipping/mouthing, basic manners (sit, down, come, leave it), leash walking, and problem prevention
Flexible scheduling in a low-distraction environment
You learn exactly how to communicate with and handle your puppy effectively
Ideal starting point while your puppy is still finishing vaccinations.
Puppy Board & Train
Our most comprehensive option — we do the heavy lifting so you get a well-started puppy.
Intensive daily training focused on house manners, crate training, leash skills, and foundational obedience
Structured socialization and confidence-building exercises
Personalized handling of the most common puppy problems (nipping, jumping, barking, etc.)
Clear video updates and progress reports so you stay involved
Detailed hand-off sessions so the skills transfer smoothly back home
A solid foundation that makes the transition into everyday life much easier
Vaccine requirement: Puppies must have completed the full puppy vaccine series before starting Board & Train.
Puppy Group Classes
The natural next step once your puppy has finished the full puppy vaccine series.
Fun, structured classes with other friendly puppies of similar age
Real-life distraction training and impulse-control games
Controlled, positive socialization (the #1 way to prevent fear and reactivity later)
Polite greetings, loose-leash walking, and more advanced skills
Ongoing trainer support and access to graduate classes at most locations
Many families begin with private lessons and then “graduate” into group classes for the best of both worlds.
Puppy Vaccine & Health Requirements
Your puppy’s safety comes first. To participate in any of our programs, we require current veterinarian records that clearly show the vaccines administered and their due dates.
Required vaccines & tests:
Distemper/Parvo combo vaccine
Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine
Rabies vaccine (once age-appropriate)
Negative fecal exam
Typical vaccine schedule:
8 weeks – 1st Distemper/Parvo
12 weeks – 2nd Distemper/Parvo + Bordetella
16 weeks – 3rd Distemper/Parvo + Rabies
Note for Kingman-area puppies: Some local veterinarians administer 4 or even 5 rounds of the Distemper/Parvo series. That’s perfectly fine — we simply need documentation showing your puppy has completed the full series recommended by your veterinarian.
We must receive official veterinarian records before your puppy’s first session. We cannot accept vaccines given at home, from farm stores, or by breeders.
Need a fecal test?
We offer convenient fecal testing right here for your convenience. The process is simple and fast — just let us know and we’ll take care of it.
Have questions about your puppy’s vaccine status? Share your vet records with us and we’ll gladly review them and confirm the soonest safe start date.

The first step is a consultation and evaluation so we can meet your puppy, understand your goals, and recommend the best program for your family.
