Why Enroll in a Puppy Training Program?

Bringing home a puppy is one of life’s greatest joys—but it’s also one of the biggest transitions your family will make. While every Shasta Royal Monroe puppy leaves with strong foundations, our Trained Puppy Program gives your new companion six additional weeks of professional training before they join your family.

It’s more than just teaching commands—it’s about giving your puppy a head start in life and giving you peace of mind.

What’s Included in the Trained Puppy Program

During the six-week program, we advance your puppy’s training in real-life skills that make day-to-day life easier:

• Crate Training: Comfortable naps and overnight rest in the crate.

• Manners: Sit, down, wait, leave it, and polite greetings.

• Leash Walking: Puppies learn to walk without pulling, checking in with their handler.

• Reliable Recall: “Come” even with distractions.

• Socialization: Outings, car rides, and exposure to new environments and people.

• Household Readiness: Practicing calm behavior indoors and chewing only on appropriate items.

The Benefits for Families

• Easier Transition: You skip many of the hardest first weeks at home.

• Confidence: Your puppy comes home already understanding structure and boundaries.

• Reduced Stress: Less frustration, more joy during those crucial bonding weeks.

• Stronger Start: You begin with a puppy who already has the basics, so you can focus on building a relationship.

Maintaining Training Progress at Home

Here’s the truth: no matter how well-prepared your puppy is when they graduate, training is a lifelong process. The Trained Puppy Program gives you a huge head start, but consistency at home is what cements those skills.

• New environment: Your puppy will need to adapt to your home, schedule, and routines.

• Developmental stages: As they grow, especially through adolescence, they’ll test boundaries and need reminders.

• Consistency: Short, daily practice sessions and clear household rules are what make behaviors stick.

Think of the Trained Puppy Program as laying the foundation of the house—strong, steady, and ready to build on. Maintaining progress at home is what turns that foundation into the lifelong companion you’ve been dreaming of.

🐾 3 Keys to Success at Home

✅ Stick to the schedule – keep potty breaks, meals, and crate time consistent.

✅ Practice a little every day – 5 minutes of sit, down, or recall a few times a day keeps progress strong.

✅ Stay on the same page – make sure everyone in the family uses the same words and rules.

What Families Can Expect

When your puppy completes the Trained Puppy Program and is ready to join your family, you’ll notice a remarkable difference compared to an 8-week-old go-home puppy:

• They have fewer accidents because they’ve had weeks of consistent potty training.

• They are comfortable in their crate, able to nap and sleep through the night with ease.

• They respond reliably to sit, down, wait, and recall cues in everyday situations.

• They walk on leash with focus and calmness, checking in with their handler instead of pulling.

• They are more confident and socialized, having had safe exposure to new environments, car rides, and people.

Instead of spending the first weeks at home working through sleepless nights, constant potty trips, and biting phases, you’ll be welcoming a puppy who already understands structure and is ready to continue building a bond with you.

But you’ll also need to:

• Stick to the potty and crate schedule we’ve established.

• Continue short daily training sessions to keep skills sharp.

• Reinforce polite behavior with consistency from every family member.
