Puppy Development Program (8–16 Weeks)
Your puppy’s path to confidence is unique. Together, we’ll determine the right balance of structure and support. Each session includes individualized training and socialization, enrichment, rest, and real-world exposure experiences in a calm, Fear Free® setting.
Programs typically include 3–5 sessions per week, designed to provide consistent structure, positive socialization, and hands-on learning that supports your puppy’s long-term development.
Program Investment
Programs are customized for each puppy’s age, temperament, and developmental needs.
Most families invest between $450–$750 per week for one-on-one, Fear Free® developmental care.
Enrollment is limited so each puppy receives focused, individualized support.
Includes:
• Individualized sessions
• Weekly outings
• Age-appropriate training, enrichment, and exposure
• One puppy at a time
• Scheduling coordinated directly with each family
