Programs for Puppies
and their people

At Grateful Dog our puppy packages are designed as hybrid models in order to address a variety of learning modalities with more personalized hands-on training. Combined with resources to help support puppies and families in their learning journey, this model also allows us to match and socialize each puppy with appropriate mentor dogs. Unlike traditional group puppy classes which can feel like the management of mayhem - some puppies may be apprehensive and overwhelmed, while others are distracted and overstimulated - our programs cater to your individual puppy's unique temperament, needs, and challenges.  

​

The programs are ideal for puppies age 8 weeks to 5 months old. Program prices range from $175- to $1,290-

Financial assistence available through our scholarship fund.

Living and Learning with Puppies
Private Lesson Package

If you’re about to get a puppy, or have just brought your puppy home, this program is for you!

This custom package is designed to give you the skills and knowledge necessary to start your little one off on the right paw. Besides the extensive online video curriculum, we’ll meet in person for a series of private lessons and mentor dog meet ups; we will guide you through critical socialization periods, foundation training and management. You will build a strong relationship and impressive set of foundation skills, while learning how to read your puppy’s unique body language and advocate for their needs.

​

How Do We Begin? 

During your free consult call, we will begin by asking you about your puppy, lifestyle, goals and challenges you may be facing. We'll then meet for your first lesson where one of our trainers will assess your puppy’s innate temperament and social skills, then design a training plan based on these findings. From there, you and your puppy will embark on the special journey of positive reinforcement training; building your relationship as well as foundation skills.

With a routine and rewards in place, you will feel supported and set up for success. It’s everything you need to jumpstart your puppy’s education, in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.

​

This package includes:

  • Three private lessons

  • Online Video Curriculum 

  • LLP eBook

  • Socialization sessions with Mentor Dogs​

Puppy Head Start
Drop-Off Day Training 

Our signature “We Do it With You” all inclusive, month by month program: Puppy School is designed to gently and skillfully help your puppy navigate the learning milestones so crucial at this age and stage of development. 

​

This program is best for puppies needing additional support and guidance from professionals, or working families who are dedicated to their puppy's proper development but short on time. Early socialization and training is critical for puppies and it can be challenging to ensure your puppy is getting what they need when you're overbooked or suffering setbacks. The peace of mind that comes with dropping your puppy off for a full day of socialization, relaxed but structured routine, professional training and oodles of love can be just the relief you need to refresh your own commitment to clear, calm, consistent puppy rearing. 

 

This package includes:

  • Eight days a month spent with our trainers and daycare staff, meeting new people, socializing with mentor dogs and other puppies, participating in training sets to learn foundation skills, and practicing important routines like potty and nap time - all in a fun, safe, enriching environment!

  • One private hour long lesson

  • Two twenty minute check in lessons

  • Online Video Curriculum

  • LLP eBook​
