Our Puppy Enrichment Program

& Private Puppy Training Sessions

Are you planning on getting a puppy or already have a puppy and looking for the best possible way to get your puppy off to an amazing start in life?!

Most puppy programs available today consist of owners attempting to teach a group of rowdy puppies some commands in a small room or warehouse once a week for a few weeks leading to average/poor results. We realized quickly we needed to offer better options for new puppy owners.

Our approach to Puppy Training is based on the 3 stages of
puppy development. We come up with a custom plan tailored to your puppy’s individual energy as well as your individual energy, lifestyle, and training goals. We make sure to teach YOU how to raise the perfect puppy with a firm understanding of Dog Psychology for results that will last a lifetime!

Dog Psychology-Based Puppy Training

Our Puppy Enrichment Program

(Puppy Board & Train)

The Most Important Stage In Your Dog's Life!

Our Puppy Enrichment Program is exclusively tailored to setting up puppies to be well behaved right from the start, before problems begin. Prevention vs. Intervention! As a company who has helped people overcome unwanted problem behaviors in adults for over a decade, we believe that this program is the best possible way to avoid any major problems in the future.

With this program your puppy will stay with us at our Ranch with a team of Dog Trainers and balanced adult dogs to learn from. We’ve found that this immersive experience for a period of 2-4 weeks in puppyhood produces some of the best results of all the programs we have to offer. This is an amazing immersion experience for your puppy in Nature that will teach them how to live a well behaved, balanced, happy life!

Dog Psychology-Based Puppy Training

Also included, we will educate YOU in Dog Psychology and provide a step-by-step plan for your individual puppy so you know exactly what you need to do to maintain your puppy’s fantastic behavior once you take them home upon completion of the program.

The program never really ends as we provide lifetime support and by completing this program you become eligible to have your puppy be considered for our exclusive Adventure Camp & Luxury Boarding Programs as well.

What You Can Expect

Immersive Puppy Experience

We’ve found that this immersive experience for a period of 2-4 weeks in puppyhood produces some of the best results of all the programs we have to offer. But it's always dependent and tailored to each puppy.

Weekly Training Sessions During Puppy’s Stay

We feel it’s very important to include the owners in the process and train YOU on exactly what you need to do with your puppy moving forward while going over any questions you may have.

60-90 Minute Go-Home Session

During the Go-Home session, we will do a full review of what we accomplished in the program, work hands-on with your puppy and answer any questions you may have about bringing your puppy home.

We find it very beneficial to do a follow-up session to see how things are going, work on anything we need to improve and answer any questions that may come up after bringing your puppy home for a few weeks.

I sent my puppy, Foxy, at 8 weeks old to the Pack Leader Dogs puppy enrichment program. It was the second best decision I ever made, my puppy being the first.

I sincerely wish that I found Steve way sooner than when I did...I’ve already said that with all of our future dogs, we will be taking them to Steve for puppy enrichment. One of the best investment I’ve ever made.
