Ok, so what is a Started Puppy? Well, we are glad you asked!

When a puppy has his 8 week old birthday, he is eager and ready to be obedience trained and learn some good manners.  Up to this point, he has been growing, learning about life and wrestling with his litter mates.  He already knows how to use a doggy door and relieve himself outside, but he needs much more!  If a puppy has not been selected by his new family at 8 weeks, we begin his training and manners in our Started Puppy Program while we wait for you to find him or her.  

We know the right family always finds us with their puppy at just the right time for the family and the puppy.  It's amazing and a blessing how that all works out so perfectly. 
 
Our Started Puppy Program usually has 3 new pups a couple times a year and they are always selected and in their new homes within a few short weeks.  So, if you prefer a Started Puppy so you don't have to handle all of the initial training and ankle biting, we are happy to train your selected puppy  for you beginning at 8 weeks old.  Just ask for more information on our training program or see our Training & Services page.
