Happy Pup Manor

Happy Pup Manor offers board and train programs ranging from 10 days to 16 weeks, depending on the puppy’s needs and training goals. Programs address obedience commands such as Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Leave It, and Place.

All training programs include one hour of individual training per day, group training with other puppies, supervised playtime for socialization, and constant reinforcement in a home environment.
