Puppy Training Programs

Shape your puppy’s future today

At Skye’s The Limit Dog Training, we believe that the earlier you start, the better the results. Puppies are like sponges, ready to absorb the information, routines, and habits that will shape them into the dog you envision for the rest of their lives. Our puppy programs are designed to build that foundation early, helping your puppy grow into a confident, well-behaved dog who fits seamlessly into your family, all while making the process enjoyable for everyone.

Starting early means shaping positive behaviors from the beginning so you can create the life you want with your new puppy! By focusing on essential life skills and behaviors during these formative months, we help prevent problem habits from taking root, setting you and your puppy on the path to long-term success.

Puppy Head Start Program

Give your puppy the best start with professional guidance and a strong foundation.

Raising a well-mannered, balanced puppy takes time, patience, and consistency—things that can be hard to manage in today’s busy world. That’s where Skye’s The Limit Dog Training’s Puppy Head Start Program comes in. Our program offers an immersive training experience where your puppy lives with us, learning essential skills and behaviors in a structured, positive, and enriching environment.

While your puppy won’t return home fully trained (puppies are still developing!), they’ll come back with the key foundations needed for long-term success. Think of it as laying the groundwork for you to continue shaping your puppy into the well-behaved companion you’ve always envisioned.

  • Professional expertise: Your puppy will receive daily, hands-on training from experienced trainers who understand how to motivate and guide puppies during this critical developmental stage.

    Structured routine: In our care, your puppy will be introduced to a consistent schedule of potty breaks, crate training, socialization, and obedience practice, helping them learn what’s expected of them.

    Real-life training: Unlike traditional facilities, our board and train program happens in a home environment. Your puppy will learn how to behave in a real-world setting, so the transition back to your home is smooth and natural.

    Faster progress: Our immersive approach allows your puppy to make faster strides in their training. From leash manners to recall, we focus on the essential life skills that set the stage for long-term success

  • We understand that no puppy is fully trained in just a few weeks. What the Puppy Head Start Program offers is the solid foundation your puppy needs to continue developing into the dog you’ve always wanted. Through consistent, balanced training, your puppy will learn the basics and gain confidence in key areas. When your puppy returns home, they will be set up for success—and so will you.

    But the journey doesn’t stop there. We provide the support and guidance you need to maintain and continue their training. Our team will work with you to ensure you understand how to reinforce what your puppy has learned, and we’re here to answer questions or troubleshoot challenges as your puppy matures.

  • We’re committed to being with you every step of the way. After your puppy completes our Puppy Head Start Program, you’ll receive:

    • Detailed progress updates: So you’ll know exactly what your puppy has learned.

    • A thorough go-home lesson: To teach you how to maintain the training at home.

    • Follow-up sessions: To continue building on the foundation we’ve laid and address any new challenges as your puppy grows.

    Give your puppy the head start they deserve. Our Puppy Head Start Program ensures your puppy learns the right behaviors from the beginning, making life easier and more enjoyable for you both. Let us help you create the life you want with your new puppy, one step at a time.
