EZ PUPS

EZ Pups offers several structured training programs. The Board & Train program is an immersive experience where dogs live with trainers, receiving daily training and weekly updates. It comes in three tiers: the 4-Week Foundations program focuses on basic obedience like polite leash walking, Sit, Down, Stay, Wait at doors, Place mat, and greeting manners, including a 1-hour hand-off lesson and two follow-ups. The 6-Week Freedom Builder reinforces beginner skills under distraction, adds field-trip proofing, service-dog foundations, and off-leash cues, with three follow-up private lessons. The 11-Week Adventure-Ready program is an advanced “navy-seal track” for high-distraction proofing, extended off-leash reliability, and advanced impulse control, including five private follow-ups and lifetime group refreshers.

Beyond Board & Train, they offer specialized programs. The Puppy Immersion program builds social skills, potty training, and basic obedience, with weekly photo updates and two hands-on lessons. The Adult Dog Level-Up program focuses on rewiring manners, drilling commands like Come, Sit, Down, Stay, loose-leash walking, and whistle recalls, with two handler sessions. Behavior Modification tackles reactivity, fear, and snapping through science-based methods and controlled exposures, teaching owners counter-conditioning drills. Lastly, the Working Dog program is designed for sport competition, personal protection, or patrol work, building on basic obedience with drive building, bite-work foundations, and scent training, with an option to source suitable dogs.
