After the initial delivery and private in-person lessons, we offer unlimited follow up support via phone or email. You will also have access to our graduate services, including biweekly group lessons, pack walks, and boarding services. Out of town clients may also schedule virtual follow up lessons as needed.

Once we receive an application and deposit, you are placed on a waitlist to receive a puppy. Once potential matches are identified, a meet and greet is scheduled. This meeting can be done in-person or virtually. Once a match is made, the second payment is due to reserve the puppy.

Our puppies are trained using positive reinforcement! Read more about our training philosophy here.

Our puppies will receive all of their initial vaccinations and monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. We cover all the initial puppy vaccines and preventative care, but once your puppy returns home, you are responsible for any further veterinary costs.

Once you are matched with a puppy, we recommend you purchase health insurance. We recommend Trupanion.

Yes! We only acquire puppies that have exceptional temperaments. Many of our Prodigies have gone onto service and therapy work. Many have been chosen for our service dog program and for other service dog programs as well. We do not guarantee that a puppy will make it as a service or therapy dog, as they are too young to formally assess for that type of work. If you have hopes to use your puppy for service or therapy work, we will help create a plan for their training and socialization and will conduct another temperament assessment when they return for their advanced obedience training.

The average waiting period to be matched is 3 months. We may have potential matches available once a deposit is placed, but if not, it typically takes us a few months to find potential puppy prospects. We do not take the puppy selection process lightly and we only aquire top notch puppies for the program, which means an occasional longer waiting period.
