Through rigorous trial and error, we have gained a deep understanding of what works and what does not—along with the reasons behind these outcomes. It is our hope that the information presented here will provide clarity and guidance, addressing all your questions about the fundamental do’s and don'ts of puppy training. Trust in our expertise, built on decades of experience and a commitment to excellence in canine development.  

All of our puppies begin their basic training at six weeks old, setting the foundation for a smooth transition into your home. We implement a structured crate-training schedule that includes designated bedtime and quiet periods, ensuring your puppy is accustomed to sleeping comfortably in a crate alone throughout the night by the time they arrive home with you. This proactive approach spares our new owners from the challenges of sleepless nights and late hours awake with a howling puppy. 

For continued crate-training success, please avoid offering food or water at least an hour before bedtime. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine—ideally at the same time each night—is crucial. Consistency and routine are vital for effective long-term crate training. Before placing your puppy in their crate for the night, take them out for a potty break, and do so immediately upon waking in the morning. 

Our training methodology is centered on positive reinforcement, using treat-and-reward techniques to foster a trusting and productive training environment. By implementing these strategies, you lay the groundwork for a well-adjusted and obedient companion.
