Trained Puppy Program (TPP)
The vom Gildaf "Trained Puppy" Program is offered to vom Gildaf puppies ONLY. We will not take in outside puppies for training. What this program offers is for you, the buyer, to get a vom Gildaf puppy with a head start in training. Here's how it works. When you purchase your vom Gildaf puppy, you will pay for your puppy up front. But instead of taking your puppy home at 7 weeks, he/she will remain with us for training.
There are 2 TPP options:
Option 1: This training program will run for 2 weeks and you will pick your puppy up at 9 weeks old. This is a very basic head start for your puppy and includes:
* Crate Training *
* Extended Socialization *
Option 2: This training program will run for 5 weeks and you will then pick your puppy up at 12 weeks of age. At pick up time, you will get a short training lesson as to what your puppy has learned, how it was taught and how to maintain his/her skills. What will your puppy learn during those 5 weeks?
* Crate Training *
* Sit *
* Down *
* Puppy Recalls *
* Door Manners *
* Leash Manners *
* Extended Socialization *
The idea of this program is to give you and your puppy a headstart on basic manners. No puppy is fully trained at 12 weeks of age but this offers your puppy the skills and understanding of basic training. It is up to you as the buyer to maintain the puppy's skills.
If you are interested in knowing more about our "Trained Puppy" Program, you can contact us for more information, pricing, etc.
