FAQ
-
Yes. By the time your puppy goes home, she will have been gently introduced to crate time as part of our early training and confidence-building routine.
We use short, positive crate sessions to help puppies learn that the crate is a safe, calm place—not a punishment. This early exposure significantly reduces first-night anxiety and helps with smoother transitions into your home. -
Yes. Your puppy will arrive with the foundations of potty training already started.
From the time puppies become mobile, we begin structured potty-area conditioning, outdoor exposure (weather-permitting), and consistent routines that teach them where to go and when.
At this age, they will not be fully trained yet—but they will understand the basics and pick up your home routine much more quickly. **Please remove all mats or rugs and reduce play area to hard flooring. -
Training begins the day she would normally go home.
Your puppy stays with our team for the selected program and continues crate training, potty work, socialization, leash manners, obedience foundations, and confidence-building. -
Your puppy receives:
Multiple rounds of deworming
DHLPP at 6 weeks
Additional boosters due at ~8 and ~12 weeks
Rabies typically at 16–20 weeks (varies by state/local law)

We don’t recommend switching your puppy away from fish-based formulas during the transition period — and ideally, not at all in the first several months.
We’ve tested many diets over the years, and fish as the primary protein consistently gives us the best results: calmer digestion, fewer sensitivities, and incredible coat health when paired with Salmon Oil.The biggest feeding mistake families make is introducing too many new foods or treats too quickly. Puppies thrive on consistency. Less is more.
For treats, we strongly recommend using their regular kibble or single-ingredient options. Avoid adding multiple proteins, toppers, or rich “people foods,” as this often leads to stomach upset and unnecessary vet visits.
We’re also big believers in pre- and probiotics, and after extensive trialing, we’ve found a simple, stable routine works best. We’ll share what we use and recommend once you complete checkout, so you can continue exactly what your puppy is thriving on today.
