Why Puppy Foundations Matters

Puppies go through natural developmental and fear periods that shape their behavior for life. Puppy Foundations meets your dog where they are — supporting confidence and preventing common issues before they start.

Stage 1: Early Foundations

Confidence . Exposure . Calm

8–12 weeks · 7-day stay

Puppies join us for one intentional week during their critical early development window. This immersive stay focuses on confidence, calm exposure, and learning how to exist comfortably within a family and farm environment.

Stage 2: Adolescent Reset

Rules . Structure . Boundaries

Around 6 months · Follows regular B&T schedule

This stage follows a one-week-on, one-week-off schedule. Puppies stay with us Monday through Friday, then return home to practice skills with their family before rejoining us for the second training week.

Stage 3: Fear Period Support

Confidence . Neutrality . Leadership

8–10 months · Follow regular B&T schedule

Using the same one-week-on, one-week-off structure, this stage focuses on confidence and neutrality in real-world environments. Private sessions are held in locations chosen by the owner.
