CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to become a new puppy parent… it is without any doubt one of the most rewarding and worthwhile relationships we know!

As such, now is the best time to start preparing for your new canine companionship. In fact, one of the questions we are most frequently asked by our new and existing animal owners is, “How do we best prepare for and successfully train our new puppy?” This question doesn’t come as a surprise, as we have found every animal owner wants a well-trained, well-mannered, well-behaved forever family pet, but oftentimes they don’t know the who, what, when, where, why and how surrounding properly training their new puppy for the most optimal outcome. As you can imagine, puppy parenting and training can begin to be extremely overwhelming, and recognize it or not, new puppy parents become trainers the day their dog arrives home!

We now have a great answer to this question and are very excited to announce that many of our member breeders partner with BAXTER & Bella, providing all of the training resources puppy parents need in order to experience better animal ownership and the very best in canine companionship! Their online puppy school was designed and developed to walk new animal owners step-by-step through the entire training process, even from before a puppy arrives home, helping establish a solid training foundation and detailing how to properly set up the house.

What’s more, their systemized program, including the many video demonstrations, showing how to instill good doggy manners, coaching on how to properly teach the wanted obedience commands, walking pet parents through how to successfully housetrain, discussing why and how to effectively socialize your dog for a happy and healthy future together and so much more… in short, providing the the very best training resource we have come to know and trust!

As briefly noted above, the first few units of their PUPPY PREP curriculum will help you prepare for your new puppy and ideally should be completed prior to your canine companion arriving home. Obviously then, we strongly encourage you to sign up now and get started right away with their exclusive Lifetime MEMBERS ONLY access!

Visit the BAXTER & Bella website for more information.
