Free consult call
We talk it through, make sure it's a fit, and find a start date that works.
Begin the training journey
Your pup joins me for two weeks and comes home with skills in place.
Travel
Board & train happens from my home. The graduation and follow-up lessons come to you within 25 miles of South Snohomish; beyond that, a flat $35 travel fee applies.
Deposit & cancellation
With only two spots at a time, a reserved start date holds a slot others can't book, so deposits secure your place.
Where does my puppy stay?
In my home, not a big commercial kennel. Each puppy has their own crate and pen, and I keep it to two board and trains at a time so every pup gets real personal attention.
Will the skills transfer to me?
Yes. Your pup comes home with real skills in place, and a 1.5-hour graduation lesson plus one optional follow-up lesson hand them off to you. You'll also get supporting training documents covering what your puppy learned, plus lifetime text and email support.
What ages is this for?
Puppies 16 weeks to 6 months, the window where a strong foundation pays off the most.
Give your pup a head start
A strong foundation, built in two weeks, then handed off to you.
