Puppy University

Puppy University

Foundations for puppies 10 to 14 weeks old, and the on-ramp to Board & Train as your puppy grows. Free with camp.

The Program

The Right Start

The habits your puppy builds in these early weeks carry into everything that comes next. We focus on basic leash work, socialization, and foundational commands, helping your puppy on their path to becoming a well-mannered, confident dog.

We train your puppy and we train you. You will leave with the skills and knowledge to keep their development on track long after the four weeks are over. Our gentle, positive approach helps puppies and owners learn and thrive during these crucial early weeks.

Four lessons over four weeks, taught mostly in your home, with the fourth lesson out in public if your puppy is ready. At this age it’s all on-leash foundations. Off-leash work comes later, at camp.

Good Questions

Puppy University FAQ

What age should my puppy be for Puppy University?

Puppy University starts when puppies are between 10 and 14 weeks old. These early weeks are the ideal time to build good habits, so we recommend reaching out as soon as you bring your puppy home.

Where do the lessons take place?

The four lessons are taught over four weeks, mostly in your home. If your puppy is ready, the fourth lesson can be held in a public setting, so the training carries into real-world environments where it matters most.

Is Puppy University an off-leash program?

No. Puppy University focuses on foundational on-leash skills like potty training, mouthing, jumping, basic leash work, and socialization. It is a great first step before our Board & Train Camp, which covers off-leash skills.

What does Puppy University cost?

Puppy University is free with the purchase of Board & Train Camp, or $400 if purchased separately. It includes four lessons, taught mostly in your home, a training lead, and a martingale collar. Ask us about our multi-dog discount.
