What Comes After Puppy Preschool?
As puppies mature, many benefit from continued training and structure. After completing Puppy Preschool, families often transition into the Yappy Puppy Program, which offers three private lessons designed to reinforce early training and provide added structure as puppies become more energetic and independent.
This progression helps puppies continue learning as their energy levels, independence, and challenges evolve, setting them up for a lifetime of good behavior, strong social skills, and a positive bond with their owners. By combining fun, structured activities with gentle guidance, each puppy gains confidence, mental stimulation, and the tools to navigate new experiences successfully.
Once puppies reach 5 months of age and have completed their vaccinations, the Yappy Puppy Program naturally leads into the two-week Board & Train Basic Behavior Modification Program, setting them up for long-term success, strong social skills, and a confident, well-mannered future.
