Puppy Behaviour Wellness Program

Give your puppy the strongest possible start with our Puppy Behaviour Wellness Program. A holistic, behaviour-focused training experience designed to support your puppy’s emotional, social, and cognitive development during their most influential months of life. This program goes far beyond basic training. It addresses the whole puppy: their wellbeing, their confidence, their learning needs, and their journey toward becoming a calm, resilient, and well-adjusted adult dog.

From foundational skills to emotional wellness, we help you navigate early challenges and teach your puppy the behaviours that will set them up for a lifetime of success.

How the Program Works

The Core Package is a great introduction to the lesson plan. With the Comprehensive Package you will have additional support in fine tuning your puppies skills as they go through adolescence.

To help us tailor the program to your unique situation we begin by learning about you AND your dog.
