Our Program
Raised In a Curriculum
Eight weeks is a short window. We fill every day of it with age-appropriate lessons that make the move to your home easier.
Why it matters
Puppies learn faster in their first eight weeks than at any other time in their lives. We follow the Badass Breeder Puppy Curriculum, Avidog and Puppy Culture protocols — a week-by-week plan that introduces the right challenge at the right age.
The result is a puppy who has already met new surfaces, sounds, people, tools and routines — and who has learned that new things are safe and usually end in a treat.
