We know introducing your new fury family member into the family is fun and exciting! and it is even easier than when your puppy is already trained! Because it is so important in the early stages of their life to establish good behaviors (and not hard to fix bad habits such as chewing, barking, or anxiety when you leave). We offer very personal, no hired help, close 24/7 training with your puppy establishing all the important basics that make being with your new puppy so much fun!
If you are looking to have your puppy pre-trained, here are a few key items to know, and a bit about the process involved. We obviously can't offer this personalized training to the entire litter so spots are limited, please talk to us about it sooner than later!
After you pick out your puppy at 6 weeks, we start the training immediately. Our training is ALWAYS fun for all the puppies. Everyone is always so impressed with their puppies desire to not only be with their 'hooman' but also their happiness and focus to the work.

Training includes:​

Recall.. especially good if you tell us their name! We will have them running up to you on command! This is truly the foundation of the relationship. I nic named this 'trigger training' because it needs to be just a muscle memory reaction...so important to the set up of all future training... it establishes their focus and desire to please us.
-
Sit
-
Lay down
-
Lots of socializing
-
Leave it
-

-
Walking on a Leash...not pulling

Crate Trained (going in on command & and staying quiet without barking)
-
The foundation laid for potty training. Puppies will be in the routine of being in a crate, being played with in the house, and doing their business outside which sets the stage for success transitioning to your home! Most people will say they are potty trained, but we still want you to keep an eye on them at first in a new environment with different areas where things are allowed or not.
-
Comfortable on car rides and visiting new places
-
Pushing paw buttons..So fun to get your puppy communicate with you! And surprisingly tricky to train. Most but not all puppies will get this in just two weeks but it does help to see other puppies figure it out!

​
Your puppy will still be ready to be picked up at 8 weeks but don't worry we will keep you updated with pictures and videos of your precious pup until you can take him home.

All training puppies go home with one of our Wonderkind Training package. The training packages comes with: Paw buttons package, bells so they can tell you when they need to go outside, training treats and custom training pouch, soft toys, hard chew toys, pig ears, a spray bottle, a training tip guide, reg leash, collar, long training lead and our favorite...the soft pop up crate we use daily with all our dogs. It makes training and traveling so much more enjoyable! And the added bonus of the training puppy going to their new home but taking their 'bed' toys, familiar blanket and smells with them reduces their stress for a very fun and peaceful transition.
