Surviving puppyhood is a team sport: both ends of the leash need to know their part to win.
Regardless of trip length, we believe 3 Coaching sessions and 2 Follow-Up sessions is the minimum you need to experience success when you return home.
Stay & Train is a comprehensive puppy training program — for puppy and owner!
“My trip is less than 5 nights. Is Stay & Train still an option?”
Live-In Dog Sitting is available for trips of three or more nights.
