Puppy Training Programs
You found the perfect breeder.
Now, set your puppy up for a lifetime of learning with one of our training programs.
You have the opportunity to have our certified, professional dog trainers keep your puppy for additional training. You can give your puppy the very best start possible, setting your puppy up for success while working with one of our world class trainers.
During our Service Dog Schools, we list our most requested tasks. There are about 20 foundation skills needed for teaching ALL the tasks and skills that a service dog needs. You can think of these skills as an alphabet. Once your puppy learns these, they can learn words, sentences, paragraphs, and stories. These foundation skills are what your puppy learns during their time with us.
During your puppies first 16 weeks, the highest speed of learning occurs, along with fastest grown and learning of foundations, simple language and sociality. What you teach during this time stays for life. Their brain is a sponge! After that, learning slows and it is more work to train and imprint. Do not waste this valuable time.
We have limited availability for our Puppy Training Programs,
be sure to claim your spot early.
Your hardest choice will be deciding which program is perfect for you! When would you like to bring your puppy home?
Note: these programs are only open to Hope Service Dogs, Inc puppies.
