Stay With us Training Program
For families who want their puppy to stay with us longer for guided early training
What the Stay with Us Program Includes
Extended stay option that allows puppies to remain in our care beyond the standard go-home timeline. During this time, puppies continue developing foundational skills within the same environment they were raised, with consistent routines, gentle guidance, and thoughtful structure. The focus is on early development supporting confidence, adaptability, and emotional balance as puppies mature. This program includes continued social exposure, daily handling, routine-building, and age-appropriate training designed to support smoother transitions when puppies join their families. Families receive guidance throughout the process, along with support as their puppy prepares for life at home.
Why some families choose an extended stay with us
Bringing home an older puppy that has been started on training, means you get to skip the hardest early stages of puppyhood while still enjoying the bonding experience of raising a young dog.
✔️ Started house-trained and have mastered crate training.
✔️ Know basic obedience commands (sit, stay, come, down, leave it).
✔️ Are comfortable walking on a leash and riding in a car.
✔️ Have been socialized with people, animals, and new environments.
✔️ Are exposed to loud sounds and different experiences to build confidence.
✔️ Are used to grooming routines, including nail trims and brushing.
Level 1: The Foundation Program
-
4 weeks of training | Go Home 12 weeks old
-
Total cost for the puppy and training: $5000
-
Our most practical and popular level for first-time puppy families. This stage builds consistent routines for crate training, housebreaking, and early leash exposure.
Your puppy will begin learning essential cues like:
• Sit
• Come
• Down
• Loose leash walking (intro)
• regular outings to work on confident car riding experiencing new places while learning good manners
They’ll also be familiar with nail trims, bath time, and meeting new people in a calm and confident manner.
Level 2: The Junior Program
-
8 weeks of training | Go home: 16 weeks old
-
Total cost for the puppy, Ohio State Sales tax, and training: $6500
* -
For families looking for a well-rounded puppy who already knows the basics and thrives in new settings. In addition to everything in our Foundation Program, this level includes:
• “Place” command
• Polite greetings (no jumping)
• Ride-alongs and travel exposure
• More confident leash walking
• Grooming desensitization
• Confidence in public places and family environments
Level 3: The Advanced Program
-
16 weeks of training | Go home: 6 months
-
Total price for 6 month old puppy and training: $9,500
-
A confident, polished six month old puppy with the socialization period done by an expert, obedience commands already taught and lifetime support from the trainer.
Ready to integrate into your family with ease. In addition to all prior levels, Advanced pups begin off-leash recall and reinforce all cues with distance, duration, and distractions.
They also learn:
• “Leave it”
• Reliable recall
• More off-leash practice in safe areas
• Between 4-6 months of age your puppy will continue with their commands gently with a remote collar that way you can have them listen to you even without a leash.
At this stage, they’ve likely outgrown the early chewing phase and are close to being fully housebroken.
