Puppy “prep school”
“Prep school” is a 4-week additional training program for $800. (During the 4-week stay, your puppy will receive his/her second set of vaccinations. This cost is in addition to the prep school fee). Your puppy continues to live with us for that time, and we work with them on a one-to-one basis. This additional “teaching time” will provide your pup with a solid foundation on which to build a well-behaved, polite and delightful pet.
Listed below are a series of things we will work on:
- Potty training by command - your puppy may not come to you fully potty trained, but he/she will be well on the way.
- Crate training – the additional time will allow us to get your puppy to the point that they are even more used to spending time in the crate.
- Leash training – we will work with your puppy so that walking on a leash is enjoyable and not a difficult task.
- Basic commands – sit, stay, come, off. At the end of prep school, we will work with you to show you how to continue what we have started.
- Socialization – as your dog continues its time with us, he or she will ride in our car on errands, play with our dogs, meet other people and children and do a “meet and greet” with our groomer so that their first time with your groomer will be a good experience.
If you are interested in enrolling your puppy in prep school, please call or mail Steve (203- 494-5291) or contactus@tailsfromdownunder.com). This is a popular program so the more advance notice we have, the better to ensure we have space for your puppy.
