Three 2-week stays spread across your puppy's first year. Because puppies mature and change. one board and train too young doesn't stick. We train them at the stages that matter most.
Award-Winning Training. As Featured In





Why start now?
Your puppy nips, jumps, and ignores you. and it is getting worse every week
You are working full-time and cannot give your puppy the structure they need during the day
Potty training is a disaster and your home is suffering
Your puppy has zero recall and bolts out the door every chance they get
You have read every guide and watched every video. nothing sticks
You want to do it right from the start, not fix problems later at 10x the cost
Puppies change dramatically in their first year. What works at 12 weeks needs reinforcing at 5 months and again at 8 months. That is why Puppy Start Right is three separate 2-week stays. timed to match your puppy's development stages. One board and train too young is a waste. Three at the right times builds a foundation that lasts.
