Jumpstart® for Younger Puppies
8 Weeks to 5 Months
“Play is the Work of Puppies, so Training Should be Fun” ~ Hillary
Our Curriculum begins on Day 1.
Our Curriculum begins with potty training, and adds good social skills, building your puppy’s confidence (and yours).
It all begins on Day 1.
Our Daily Curriculum Includes;
- Daylong Potty Training (plus ringing bells to potty outside),
- Daily training outside and in our temperature-controlled Nursery,
- Sit, Down, Go to Bed, Recall (Come!),
- Walk nicely on a leash, Greet new dogs politely,
- Safe Socialization (Social Skills) via carefully moderated play with an emphasis on good manners and impulse control.
Jumpstart is an All-Inclusive Program offering private time when you need it plus Saturday morning class for you and your family (children are welcome).
Your puppy can begin as early as 8 weeks old, or as soon as you’ve had a Well Puppy Exam with your vet.
The best way to get started is to bring your puppy for a visit to the Jumpstart Nursery. It’s a great way to socialize your puppy and learn about our program.

Puppy Socialization – When to Start?
Answer: Immediately.
Things have changed. Years ago we waited till puppies had all their shots before taking them outdoors. Today we get them to classes and into programs at 8 weeks old.
What’s Changed?
Recent studies reveal puppies have protective antibodies from their mothers which provide considerable protection.
The Good News
Puppies that are socialized as early as 8 weeks old develop better social skills and confidence than puppies that are held back.
