Puppy Head Start: The Best First Week Possible

​

 

Because the first week home shouldn’t be the hardest.

​

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting milestone, but the first seven days are often the most stressful for families.

Between sleepless nights, potty accidents, and the "puppy blues," the transition can be overwhelming.

​

The Puppy Head Start program—hosted in-home by professional trainer Liz Belcher of Pups-n-Motion—bridges the

gap between our home and yours. Instead of a stressful transition, your puppy spends their first week away from the

litter in a structured, loving environment learning the rules of the human world.

​

​

Why Choose Puppy Head Start?

​

• Restful Nights from Day One: They handle the initial crate acclimation. Your puppy will arrive at your home

already used to a sleeping and nap-time schedule, meaning fewer midnight wake-up calls for you.

• The "Housebreaking" Advantage: They establish a rigorous feeding and potty routine. Your puppy learns

the concept of "pottying outside" before they ever step foot in your house.

• A Confident Companion: The "fear window" in a puppy’s development is critical. They provide professional

socialization & exposure—exposing your puppy to new sights, sounds, and textures at places like Home

Depot and Home Goods—to ensure they grow into a calm, bomb-proof adult.

• A Foundation of Manners: They do the heavy lifting of teaching five essential skills: Sit, Come, Wait,

Down, and Leash Walking. You aren't starting from scratch; you’re simply continuing the progress.

​

 

What’s Included?

​

• 7 Days of Professional Board-and-Train: Your puppy lives as a member of the trainer's family (no

kennels!).

• Positive Reinforcement Foundation: Training built on trust and rewards.

• The "Go-Home" Gameplan: You’ll receive a detailed report on your puppy’s progress and a transition

schedule so you can maintain their new habits with confidence.
