Unleash your dog’s full potential
Puppy Training in Boca Raton: Puppy Head Start Program
Our Puppy Head Start Board & Train gives young dogs a head start during their most important developmental window.
It’s for puppies 8 to 16 weeks old.
A Customized Program
Every puppy comes to us with a different personality and at a different stage of training.
That’s why we don’t believe a one-size-fits-all approach to puppy training works.
Each Puppy Head Start plan is built around your puppy.
What Your Puppy Will Learn
We focus on the habits that set your puppy up for life:
- Potty training routines
- Crate training, including staying quiet in the crate
- Bite inhibition and no nipping
- No jumping or barking
- Engagement and focus
- Preventing separation anxiety
- Basic leash manners and heeling on a loose leash
- An introduction to sit-stay, down-stay, and place
- Confident socialization with neutral dogs and new places
How It Works
Your puppy stays at our licensed facility, attached to a veterinary clinic.
Puppies learn best in small doses, so we keep sessions short and frequent.
A puppy might get 15 short training sessions in a day, plus a field trip and play time with other dogs.
Worried About Missing the Bonding Period?
Please don’t worry.
Throughout your puppy’s stay, you’ll visit to learn and practice your puppy’s new skills.
You’ll also get daily updates from our team.
That gives you time to build a strong, healthy relationship, and to see how your puppy does without you there.
Once your puppy goes home, they adapt quickly to their new life.
You’ll be ready to pick up the training with the foundation already in place.
Program Length
A three-week minimum is required for all puppies.
Price
Starting at $6,000.
Puppy Head Start FAQs
What is the best age to start training my puppy?
The best time to start is between 8 and 12 weeks, during your puppy’s critical socialization window.
Puppies are very impressionable then, so socialization, exposure, and confidence building matter a lot.
If you’ve done early socialization yourself, any time between two and six months is great.
Will my puppy forget me?
No.
In all our years of training, no dog has ever forgotten their owners.
They may not notice you right away, but once they see and smell you, they’re always happy to see you.
Can you accommodate my puppy’s special diet?
Yes, we’re happy to handle special diets, raw food diets, and medication needs.
