We are breeders ourselves -- we know what breeders value when raising puppies, and what pressures a modern breeder faces. Our breeder courses will give you the tools to create life-long, positive impacts for your puppies and their new owners. Any time and effort we invest must not only be efficient and effective for us, it must also benefit our puppies' future with their new family.
Most of our courses are paired - one for the breeder/foster, and one for the new puppy's owner. This coordinated learning system provides consistency for the puppy, increases the new family's success and satisfaction, and decreases boomerang puppies and the puppy blues.
By creating a paired course system that works for the breeder AND for the new family, we can help breeders provide professional level support with better outcomes and less pressure on the breeder/foster. We want your puppy families to be successful just as much as you do!
Coming in 2026 is our frequently requested Trainer Support, for breeders/fosters and pet owners. Contact Us if you are interested in a support subscription.
Poop School is our original and most popular course for breeders and fosters.
Our step-by-step program will help you create clean habits in your puppies from the very beginning, saving your time and sanity, and creating puppies that will be easier to keep clean and house train later!

Crate School is a program of incremental conditioning to the crate. The program is designed to be age appropriate for litters of puppies. You will craft positive feelings about crates. and gradually desensitize puppies to the idea of being confined while avoiding distressing or fear-inducing experiences that may cause crate problems later on. Unlike other crate training programs, Crate School does not flood puppies, assume puppies are being "bad" for resisting confinement, or use outdated techniques that so often cause lifelong confinement problems. Instead, Crate School uses the puppy's own instincts, desires, and choices to create durable positive feelings and age appropriate skills around crate training.
