Pre-enrollment requirements:

Our highest priority is to protect our environment and the puppies that are in training, along with making sure owners receive a healthy puppy.  As a result, there are very strict requirements of the breeders we will accept puppies from. If you need assistance in choosing a reputable breeder, please let us know. 

Parasites and viruses are highly contagious. If one puppy is infected, all puppies in training, as well as future puppies coming to training, will be exposed.  In an attempt to prevent this, all puppies MUST be examined by a veterinarian and have a clear fecal report (that has been sent out to a lab) within 5 days prior to puppy coming to training. NO EXCEPTIONS! The cost of such exam and test is the responsibility of the breeder or owner. The puppy must be in excellent health to participate and benefit fully from training. 

Effective immediately, we no longer accept puppies from Amish/Mennonite breeders directly. Puppies must go home to owner and be seen by owner’s veterinarian. A full health check up and 100% clear fecal done by owner’s vet is required before puppy can attend training.

If your dog has already been living with you, we require the same lab tested fecal report as well as confirmation from your vet that your dog is current on all age appropriate vaccines, including rabies and bordetella. We also ask that your dog refrain from dog parks, day cares and groomers for 10 days prior to arrival for training.
