Cavapoo training: a couple of the doggies who have came through our program.
We offer an Exclusive Extended Stay training program that has been a wonderful start for many of our families and their new puppy. It is booked/scheduled only by advanced reservation and is a delightful program where your puppy remains in our care, normally until 6 months of age, to begin the puppy's basic obedience training. Our program initiates obedience, crate, leash, and potty training with the puppy all the while they are living directly within our family home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Training goals and plans have been outlined below.
The course fees are to be paid in advance and are non-refundable.
The schedule of payments due is detailed in the outline above.
