Puppy Start Right Program FAQs
When can my puppy start the program?
The perfect time to begin your puppy’s journey with us is between 10 to 14 weeks old. This age range allows us to make the most of their critical socialization period, helping them grow into well-adjusted and happy pups. We also recommend that your puppy has been living in your home for at least 1 week before starting the program. This way, they can settle in and feel comfortable before diving into all the fun and learning ahead!
What if I want to enroll my puppy in the Start Right Program but he/she does not have all of their shots?
We follow the American Animal Hospital Association’s guidelines and require the following core vaccinations to use our services:
- Distemper
- Rabies (for puppies 4 months and older)
- Bordetella
In addition, these vaccinations are strongly recommended but not required:
- Leptospira
- Lyme Disease
- Canine Influenza
Will my puppy be given potty breaks while there?
Absolutely! Potty breaks are built into the schedule throughout the day to help reinforce potty training. Your puppy will have plenty of opportunities to take care of business while enjoying their time with us!
Do I attend the program with the puppy?
Nope! You won’t attend the program with your puppy. Instead, you’ll drop off your dog in the morning and pick up a happy, well-socialized pup at the end of the day! Throughout the program, we’ll keep you in the loop with weekly report cards, adorable photos, and fun videos, so you can track your puppy’s progress and reinforce all those positive behaviors at home. We can’t wait to see your pup thrive!
Are there any prerequisites for the Puppy Start Right Program?
Nope! Your puppy can join the fun as early as 10 weeks old, and there’s no need for any prior training. We’re thrilled to welcome them on board right from the start! Our goal is to equip you with clear and concise information to help you raise your puppy the right way, setting them off on the right paw!
