Started Companion Dogs
What are Started Puppies?
Our started companion dog program is designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start through basic training and socialization, and temperament training. One of the easier ways to train a dog is to separate puppy skills and handler skills. Included with the adoption fee are Thera-Puppy handler skill classes, that anyone in the new puppy’s life is welcome to attend.​
​
A good companion dog sits to say "Hello", is gentle with their people, and has self control. These started puppies are temperament trained from day three to build a resilient reaction to stress. They are also socialized to a variety of stimulus, including other dogs and people.
By beginning training and socializing early, we have developed foundation skills that serve pup and people for a lifetime. ​
