The Empowered Puppy Package
For all puppies 8 weeks to 20 weeks. First round of vaccinations required.
The critical socialization period ends around 15-18 weeks. Sign up now!
What does it mean to empower your puppy? It means teaching him/her necessary life skills, building their confidence so they grow into well-rounded adults, and giving them the option to say yes and no. Instead of demanding things from them, we teach them to choose to behave in a way we find appropriate. It also means working hard to socialize them to new people, places, vet offices and other animals so they feel safe in their world.
