foundation it is easy to teach our dogs basic obedience which is ultimately teaching them to understand our language "English."
We offer training packages for puppies and older dogs.
2 free 60 min. Training sessions with each puppy/dog adopted from Karemy Labs. We recommend that you use these training sessions when a problem arises with the training or behavior of the puppy. If you training goes smoothly then you can use the training sessions for teaching them a trick or explore the possibility of competing in an AKC event like the CGC, obedience, show, or hunting competitions.
On Site Puppy Preschool-Instructor Amy or Kathy see cost below These packages are for puppies from 7weeks to 24weeks old. You have many options with our training program. We are most concerned with helping you and your new puppy get off to a great start and prevent problems before they start. So we can do the training for you before you take your puppy home, or you can bring them back for training at any time. This training helps make a smooth transition for you and your new family member in to your home. This is especially good if you have a busy schedule and don't feel that you can put the time into training your puppy. The package prices are in addition to the cost of your puppy. The entire amount of training must be paid up front before we begin working with your puppy.
Package 1: Two week Course: Includes basic obedience, and house training. We will work with your puppy on leash training, commands such as, sit, down, come and other basic commands. We will also, work with crate training, which includes taking the puppy outside to potty. The price of this two week package is $400.00, this will include any vaccinations your puppy may need while in training with us. Package 2: One week obedience and housebreaking, same training as stated above. The price of this one week course is $200.00. Package 3: Two weeks house training only: $200.00 Package 4: Two weeks obedience training only: $200.00 Package 5: One week house training only OR obedience training only:$150.00.
While in training, your puppy is separated from its mother and litter mates, so he/she will keep us up during the first few nights, not you. We also introduce your puppy to short car rides. Now that my children are between 15 and 7, and LOVE the puppies, they are a great help to us during training doing most of the walking and leash training and the puppies really love to work with them.
NOTE: We will work very hard with your new puppy, but you need to understand that this is only a start of house training and obedience. You will need to be consistent and continue the training that we have started. Your puppy is a puppy and developmentally they need time to physically and mentally mature. Puppies will not be able to hold their bladder and bowels for long periods of time till they are 6 months before they will be reliable in their house training. This is if you have been consistent in their training. We can't guarantee that your puppy will be totally house trained or obedience trained when they leave for this is nearly impossible at such a young age. But we will give your puppy the best start!! Labs are very smart and learn quickly. We use positive reinforcement and encourage positive training when you take your puppy. If you are harsh and negative it could cause them to revert to unwanted behavior.
Formal Training-Instructor Kathy Jackson & Amy Smith (puppy/ dogs must be a minimum age of 12 weeks) Upon completion of either of these programs the dog will complete the test for the AKC 's CGC certificate and pass. In this program your puppy/dog will be taken through a structured 8 or 10 week program used to prepare a dog for AKC obedience completions. The boarding program does teach crate training but not house training. This means that we can not guarantee the dog will be reliable enough to have free range in the home and not have an accident. It does mean that they will have a positive feeling about their crate and know not to potty in their crate. If the family continues to use the crate to prevent accidents when they can't give their dog their full attention it is likely that the dog will not have accidents. Option 1- Formal 8 week program ($400)This is a 8 week training/ boarding program that will prepare you pet for being a well behaved family companion. The emphasis will be on obedience training. A one hour introduction and ending training class for the family is required to participate in this program. The dog will be exposed to a variety of handlers ( male/ female, children/ adults) This is important to be able to transfer what they have learned to be obedient to more than one handler. It is vial that the beginning and ending training sessions are attended by all who will have regular contact with the dog to better understand the training that it will be receiving. This fee does not include food, vitamins, medication or any medical fees associated with the dogs care during this time. See below for a list of commands that will be taught.
Option 2- Formal Obedience 10 week program ($600) The 10 week training/boarding is for the more polished off dog ready for completion. The difference between this program and option 1 is that the extra two weeks will be for off leash training. So the dog will be taught to obey commands with out a leash and training collar on. A one hour introduction and ending training class for the family is required to participate in this program. The dog will be exposed to a variety of handlers ( male/ female, children/ adults) This is important to be able to transfer what they have learned to be obedient to more than one handler. It is vial that the beginning and ending training sessions are attended by all who will have regular contact with the dog to better understand the training that it will be receiving. This fee does not include food, vitamins, medication or any medical fees associated with the dogs care during this time. See below for a list of commands that will be taught.
Option 3- Formal Obedience, Private or group Class($120) This is a 8 week, one hour per week training class that the dog attends with a family member. The same information will be taught as in Option 1 & 2 but the dog will not be boarded. We feel that this is the best option for most family pet as there will be more time for the family to learn how to interact with their pet so communication is better and a stronger bond and relationship is developed between the dog and it's family. Perfect attendance and completion of homework are required for passing this class. This class prepares you for AKC Obedience competition.
