What Is the Puppy Preschool Program?

Puppy Preschool is a foundation-focused puppy training program designed for young dogs during their earliest learning window. Rather than waiting for unwanted behaviors to appear, this program emphasizes prevention, structure, and clear communication from the start.

Training is delivered through private, one-on-one sessions, allowing puppies to learn in a calm, controlled environment while pet parents receive direct coaching and support.

Each Puppy Preschool package includes:

  • Five private, one-hour training sessions

Why Puppy Preschool Uses Private Sessions

Young puppies learn best in calm, structured environments. Private Puppy Preschool sessions allow trainers to teach your puppies the best skills at an early age:

  • Focus on your puppy’s individual needs
  • Adjust training based on temperament and development
  • Provide direct coaching to pet parents
  • Avoid overwhelming puppies with uncontrolled group settings

This approach supports confidence-building and helps puppies develop positive associations with training.

What to Expect During Puppy Preschool

Puppy Preschool begins with an evaluation to understand your puppy’s age, behavior, and home environment. From there, training progresses thoughtfully as your puppy grows.

During the program, you can expect:

  • Clear guidance on puppy development and behavior
  • Practical strategies for everyday situations
  • Support as new challenges arise
  • Training that evolves with your puppy

The goal is to help pet parents feel confident and prepared while giving puppies the structure they need to succeed.

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.
