VIP Puppy Program

Ideal For: Puppies aged 4 months (20 weeks) or younger, and for owners who want to give their puppy a strong start in life with expert guidance during their formative months.

The VIP Puppy Program is an exclusive, specialized service designed to give your puppy the best possible start. During the crucial early development phase, we focus on socialization, foundational training, and behavioral development. This program is perfect for busy owners who want their puppies to receive top-tier care and socialization in a nurturing, home-based environment.

Key Program Details:

• Duration: 2-3 weeks, depending on progress.
• Price: R6800 per puppy. Discounts for multiple puppies
• Individualized Care: One puppy per trainer in a home environment, ensuring personalized, focused attention.
• Potty & Crate Training: Early lessons in housebreaking and crate training to instill good habits.
• Socialization with Other Puppies & People: Ensures your puppy learns positive behaviors with people, dogs, and new experiences.
• Basic Obedience Training: Introduction to essential commands like Sit, Down, Wait, Leave It, and basic leash manners.
• Introducing puppies to various stimuli like car rides, different environments, new people, and other pets.
• Personalized Transition Plan: Detailed instructions to help transition your puppy back into their home environment after the program.

Why Early Socialization Matters: Puppies go through critical developmental stages during their first few months, where positive experiences shape their future behaviors. Our VIP Puppy Program ensures your puppy is exposed to a wide range of positive experiences, helping them grow into well-adjusted, confident dogs. Early socialization is key to preventing fear, anxiety, or aggression as they mature.

Special Differences in the VIP Program:

• Exclusive One-on-One Training:We limit the number of puppies per trainer to ensure that each puppy receives the highest quality of care and focused attention.
• Home-Based Care: Your puppy stays with their trainer in a home environment rather than a kennel, promoting better socialization and comfort during their stay.
• Early Problem Prevention: By addressing potential issues like play biting, crate anxiety, and early obedience, we help avoid common behavioral problems before they start.
• Personalized Care Plan: We develop a tailored care plan based on your puppy’s progress and specific needs, making the transition to home life smooth and easy.
• Specialized Exposure:Your puppy will be gently exposed to various real-world situations that are often difficult for new owners to manage on their own, such as car rides, meeting other pets, and dealing with new people.

This program is perfect for owners who want to give their puppy the best start in life and lay a strong foundation for future training.

At-Home Training Solutions

Ideal For: Dogs that require more targeted training in their own environment or for owners who prefer one-on-one, personalized training sessions at home.

Our At-Home Training Solutions are designed for owners who prefer training in their dog’s familiar environment or for dogs who might feel stressed in a kennel setting. These private sessions are highly customizable to address specific behavioral issues that may be more effectively worked on at home.

Service Details:

• Available Areas: Pretoria region and Hartbeespoort.
• Custom Training Plans: Whether your dog needs help with basic obedience, behavior modification, or specific issues like separation anxiety, our trainers come to you.
• Flexible Scheduling: We offer private, one-on-one sessions that can be scheduled at your convenience.
