Can you do in-home potty training for young puppies?
We cannot do in-home potty training, there is a blog page explaining how to potty train your dog but as of right now we only rent the house and cannot be up every 20 minutes or overnight to let out puppies that are under 3 months and unable to hold their pee. Puppies that young cannot be out around the rest of the dogs and need to be making connections with you at home.

All dogs need vaccination records showing current ~age appropriate~ Rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella and signed waiver. Any dogs staying on property for daytrain or board and train will also need a yearly negative fecal. Any training collars or leads can be bought and fitted in class.
