Puppy Head Start Training for Therapy Dog Programs

We understand that you are in need of a dog that can support you and your disability.  We can help you by training a pup that will meet your needs.

Training covered:

  • Come – To come when called under any circumstance.
  • No – To re-route a negative behaviour.
  • Sit – Sit and await further instructions.
  • Down – Down and await further instructions
  • Stay – in a sit or down for as long as required.
  • Watch me – Focus on you in distracting situations.
  • Heel – Walking loosely in harness without pulling.
  • Stop – and wait in a sitting position before entering a doorway
  • Leave it! – One of the most valuable commands your dog can know.  Leave it can apply to something as simple as pup chewing on something they shouldn’t, to not chasing a cat who happens to be across the road or to not trying to eat a wrapper pup sees on the sidewalk – the list is endless and such a great safety tool!
  • Kennel – Go to your crate.
  • Quiet – No barking or whining.

$750.00 and up per week – depending on age and breed.

Young dogs/puppies preferred. All candidates live with us in our home as a member of our family and trained using positive reinforcement.
