Clickstart’s Puppy Academy
For puppies 2-4 months old
We know that raising a puppy can be overwhelming, let us do the heavy lifting! Our comprehensive Puppy Academy is designed to build a solid foundation for your pup so you can enjoy a lifetime of adventures together. Your puppy will learn, socialize, relax and play under the guidance of professional trainers.
Our unique program keeps your puppy’s best interests at heart. You have the option to drop your puppy off up to 3 days per week. Rest days are built in and allow you to practice all of your pup’s new skills at home and your puppy to recharge for their next day of school. Enjoy your puppy in the evenings and reap the benefits of their training each day.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your puppy only needs their FIRST round of vaccinations. Here are the steps we take to ensure a safe, early socialization experience:
• We disinfect our floors, props, and toys with a Vet-Grade Parvocide (CleanBreak).
• We all disinfect the bottom of our shoes before entering the training space.
• Puppies MUST have a clean bill of health in order to attend each day (no vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, coughing, etc.).
• You must show proof of your puppy's FIRST round of vaccines administered by a veterinarian.

Your puppy will be introduced to essential cues including: sit, down, stay, come, settle/place, leave it, loose leash walking, polite greetings and more.
More importantly, our Puppy Academy will cover all of the puppy raising priorities including socialization, independence training, crate training, potty training, appropriate play skills, confidence building, comfort with handling for the groomer and vet, and, again, so much more.

Every Academy Day comes with a wrap up email which will contain videos of your puppy learning and socializing as well as step by step instructions for each exercise covered.
We also provide a special 25% discount on private coaching to our Puppy Academy students. We recommend adequate follow-up private training to ensure you're up-to-speed with all of your puppy's new skills.

Unlike daycares and board and trains, this is a HIGHLY personal service. Only four puppies will be enrolled at one time and at least two trainers will be onsite at all times. This 2:1 ratio provides for a safer and more high quality experience, while also allowing your puppy plenty of socialization opportunity.
