A much-needed break — for you and your puppy.
Whether you're heading out of town or just feeling a little burnt out from raising a land shark with bladder control issues, The Puppy Sabbatical offers structured rest and progress all in one.
This 1–4 week stay-in program is designed for puppies 8 to 16 weeks old, and takes place in my home — not a kennel. It’s a highly personalized experience that blends early training foundations with enrichment, rest, socialization, and thoughtful structure.
Your puppy’s time here includes:
Foundational life skills: crate comfort, leash exposure, name recognition, mat work, recall foundations
Vaccination-safe socialization outings (see: Puppy Socialization Outings)
Exposure to household routines, gentle handling, and appropriate play
Daily enrichment and decompression, tailored to your puppy’s needs and stage
Lots of naps. Like, a lot of naps.
Two follow-up in-home sessions to support continued success — we’ll troubleshoot challenges, reinforce what your puppy learned, and help you confidently fold these skills into your day-to-day routine
This isn’t a “fix it and forget it” program — it’s a head start, with continuity. You’ll also receive regular updates while your puppy is with me, along with a detailed handoff plan to help keep things on track once they return home.
Ideal for:
Busy guardians who want to stay proactive during travel or early puppy overwhelm, and who value early socialization, skill-building, and giving their puppy the best possible start.
$1000 per week

Coaching for the chaos between “puppy” and “grown-up.”
One day your dog knows all their cues. The next? They’re acting like you’ve never met. If you’re feeling like your once well-behaved pup has suddenly gone rogue — you're not imagining it. Adolescence is real.
Adolescent Audit is a weekly, 60-minute coaching session designed to help you navigate the growing pains, recalibrate your routines, and bring some clarity (and calm) back to your relationship.
We’ll work together on:
Rebuilding leash skills and recall
Practicing real-world engagement around distractions
Reinforcing calm behavior at home and in public
Managing overstimulation and regaining consistency
Troubleshooting what’s actually going on beneath the surface
This is not a reset button — but it is the guidance you need to move forward with less stress and more success.
Ideal for:
Dogs 6 months to 2 years old who’ve hit the teenage wall and need help rediscovering their brain — and guardians who want support staying proactive without starting over.
6 sessions: $720
10 sessions: $1150
