For All Prep Your Pup Puppies
Regardless of length of stay
All puppies are taken to the veterinarian within a few days of arrival for a well puppy check-up, flea and tick preventative, heartworm preventative and vaccines will be kept up to date while at training.
Your puppy will be sent home from training with a harness and leash, potty bells, a special crate time bone and a bunch of other goodies.
Just prior to your puppy coming home to you, you will receive a "Going Home Letter" that is specific to your puppy. It will include information on where your puppy is with training and how you can continue their training at home. It will give you instructions to facilitate a smooth and easy transition home for you and your puppy. The Going Home Letter will update you on when your puppy's last vaccines and preventative care were administered and when they are due in the future. You will be walked through what your puppy's schedule has been at training so that you can more easily help them adjust to your schedule. We are available to talk you through any struggles that may come up after your puppy goes home as well.
Two Week Program
Total for Training: $1880 Deposit: $750
Our Two Week option is perfect fit for some owners. If you are unable to get your puppy from the breeder at 8 weeks old due to scheduling conflicts, we will get your puppy started on training during that time. Two weeks is highly recommended if a puppy needs to be shipped via airline. This program will give them time to get used to an airline crate and possibly get another vaccine administered prior to their flight. For the owners that would like to do their own training, but understand that the first few weeks can be quite challenging, our two week option can be a perfect fit. Your puppy will be prepared with basic skills that you can build upon.
Puppies will be introduced to the crate. Most will be sleeping 4-5 hours at a time, some longer, without any accident. We will begin the process of potty training. Your puppy will be introduced to leash walking, name recognition, "Sit" and "down". We will work with your puppy on focusing and setting the stage for them to be eager learners.
Four Week Program
Total for Training: $2780 Deposit: $750
Each level of training builds on the last. Puppies that train with Prep Your Pup Training Academy for four weeks have more exposure to leash work and their basic commands are more solidified. Puppies are more comfortable with the crate at this point and are typically sleeping 6-7 hours at night. They are introduced to daytime crating and can be left in their crate for 3-4 hours during the day. Potty habits are becoming more established. Negative behaviors that often start about this age, jumping and nipping, are discouraged and we focus on correcting them. Puppies are socialized with the world around them and other puppies at training.
Six Week Program
Total for training: $3680 Deposit: $750
Our six week program focuses on refining previously taught commands and introducing more advanced commands. Leash work becomes more refined. We begin allowing more supervised freedoms within our home to be able to reinforce good manners. As puppies mature and build confidence, negative behaviors can present themselves. We work continually to correct these and establish good behaviors into habits. We continue to use positive reinforcement, a consistent schedule and an appropriate environment to further potty training progress.
Eight Week Program
Total for training: $4580 Deposit: $750
With an eight week training program at Prep Your Pup Training Academy your puppy will come home nearly potty trained. With a consistent schedule and an attentive owner, you will have success. Your puppy will be walking nicely on the leash, proficient with basic commands and have good manners. You will be able to welcome your puppy to your home with the typical challenges of the first few months behind you, but they will still be puppies and will require a high level of supervision.
Your puppy will receive the last of their "puppy shots" about this time. They will be covered by these vaccines two weeks later. The socialization the puppies receive in the safe Prep Your Pup Training environment will be preparing them to venture out into the world around them.
Ten Week Program
Total for training: $5480 Deposit: $750
Ten weeks with Prep Your Pup and your puppy will come home to you ready to be a member of your family without many of the challenges that can come with puppyhood. At 4 1/2 months old, you puppy will be fully covered by their vaccines and ready to safely explore the world with you. This option is ideal for owners that live in environments without a yard and will need to be walked where other dogs frequent. Your puppy will now be safe to do so. They will be proficient with basic commands and leash walking. Your puppy will exhibit good manners.
