Welcome Breeder!

I am excited to introduce myself and my comprehensive puppy training program, designed to help your clients build a solid foundation for their new furry family members.

Welcome to a Partnership Built for Success

As a Fear Free certified professional, a member of the Pet Professional Guild, certified by CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer Knowledge Assessed), and Good Citizen Dog, I bring a wealth of positive knowledge and expertise to the table. Each year, I stay up to date on the latest dog training techniques to ensure I provide the best care for happy, healthy dogs. My training methods are rooted in positive reinforcement—never involving shock or prong collars—to build confidence and well-rounded temperaments.

Your Role as a Breeder

I recognize and appreciate that a solid foundation and good socialization begins with you. As a breeder, you set the stage for each puppy’s temperament and social skills. Once they leave your care, socialization and training must continue seamlessly. Many new dog owners may not realize how crucial the early weeks are for socialization and training, and missed opportunities during this time can be hard to correct later. That’s where I come in.

Why Choose Our Board and Train Programs?

Our Board and Train Programs stand out from the rest. Each puppy is integrated into our household as a member of the family, not confined or overlooked. By maintaining a low number of puppies at any time, I ensure every puppy receives individual attention to grow into a confident, trusting, and well-mannered dog.

Key Features of Our Program:

  • Puppies live in a home environment and are treated as part of the family.

  • Individualized attention to build trust and engage their unique personalities.

  • Positive reinforcement training methods to encourage calm and balanced behavior, guided by my CPDT-KA and Fear Free certifications, ensuring a comprehensive and empathetic approach to training.

  • Progress updates through weekly phone calls, videos, pictures, and texts.

  • Daily mental enrichment activities, including puzzle feeders, scent games, and new experiences, to keep puppies engaged and well-rounded.

  • Training equipment (excluding crates and playpens) provided for a smooth transition home.

Safety and Socialization

Health and safety are my top priorities. Puppies in my care avoid risky environments like pet stores and dog parks where exposure to Parvo and other health hazards is possible. Instead, they experience controlled socialization in safe settings. From introducing new sights and sounds to teaching calm behavior in various situations, I focus on fostering balanced temperaments. Whether it’s sunny or raining, I’m dedicated to making every day a growth opportunity—even training in the rain to ensure puppies feel comfortable in all weather conditions.

Mental Enrichment Matters

Physical exercise alone isn’t enough for a happy and healthy puppy. My program emphasizes daily mental stimulation through:

  • Enrichment toys like puzzle feeders and snuffle mats.

  • Games like food hide-and-seek and scent work.

  • Exposure to new smells, sounds, and experiences in positive environments.

Tailored Activities for Unique Personalities

Each puppy’s personality is celebrated. From water play to chase games, I create enjoyable activities that match their preferences. These experiences nurture natural traits and provide essential mental and physical engagement.

A Launchpad for Lifelong Success

My mission is to ensure every puppy exceeds their potential, becoming a well-behaved, confident, and happy companion. By partnering with me, you’re giving your clients and their puppies the best start possible.

Exclusive Partnership Benefits

I carefully select breeders who are committed to producing healthy, high-quality puppies. My recommendations are limited to 1-2 breeders per breed—partners I trust and believe in. As a partner:

  • Your clients receive a 20% discount on our board and train programs.

  • They gain access to free support after taking their puppy home.

  • Your reputation is enhanced by offering a value-added service.

Let’s Work Together

I’d love to discuss how we can collaborate to provide exceptional starts for your puppies and their new families. Please feel free to reach out for more details or to schedule a conversation.

Warm Regards,

Melissa McNally
