Basic Obedience
Training is one of the most important aspects to owning a puppy. How well you train your dog will impact how well your dog behaves down the road. We would love to help you get started!
The following is what our basic training program details:
Training is offered at Red Prairie for an extra expense of $25/ day for our puppy buyers which includes boarding, food, and training supplies for 4 weeks as a minimum. We will keep these puppies for up to 8 weeks after they turn 8 weeks of age and train them as if they were our dogs.
*Please note that this cost does not include the purchase price paid to us for purchasing your puppy or any of the transport costs*
We recommend a 5-6 week boot camp program to get your puppy an early start on that training that takes extra time and consistency such as potty training, house manners, basic obedience and more. We will start training these puppies at 8 weeks of age and update you on their progress at least weekly! Facetime/video chats will be completed as well so you can see your puppy progress through this program. Upon graduation, we will be here to answer questions you may have and also enroll your puppy in Baxter/Bella training course, so you have access to other trainers for life!
