When most people imagine bringing home a new dog, they picture an adorable baby puppy, a "blank state" that needs to be molded into a great family dog. We totally understand and respect this--after all, we LOVE puppies. However, for many families, especially those that work long hours or are first-time dog owners, a trained young adult dog is the most ideal choice. Here's why:

​

Already crate trained and housebroken ☑️

Our trainer-raised young adult dogs sleep through the night, so you won't be waking up to potty them at 2:00 AM before work tomorrow. They are also housebroken, so you get to skip 24/7 supervision and lots of cleanup.

​

Socialization done correctly ☑️

Our trainer-raised young adult dogs have been raised around various people, dogs, environments, sights, and sounds. Beyond great genetics (only our best dogs go into the program), these puppies have been socialized properly by a professional--no problems from guesswork or poorly handled outings.

​

Already past puppy biting and jumping ☑️

Our trainer-raised young adult dogs have learned not to bite as puppies do, and they are discouraged from jumping on people.

​

Great recall and leash skills ☑️

Two invaluable skills that puppy owners often struggle with are recall and leash skills, but our trainer-raised young adult dogs have already learned these skills. They are ready to walk beside you through the neighborhood, and they enjoy coming when called.

​

Good for grooming and handling ☑️

These dogs are used to brushing, baths, blow drying, and nail trims, and are well-behaved for these moments of physical handling.

​

Ideal choice for busy families and first-time dog owners ☑️

Skip out on worrying about whether your training is right for the dog, and let a professional handle the difficult first months of a dog's life. Puppies are brand new to the world--we have to show them how to behave, and no one is better qualified to do this than an experienced dog trainer.

​

Cost and time effective ☑️

Dogs who have completed our program have a high price tag, however the overall cost is much lower than purchasing a dog and sending it to a board and train program for a similar amount of time. These dogs are ready to seamlessly integrate into your family--no need to bring a puppy home, get attached, and then send them to a trainer to work on things.
