A note from Denise

Denise — Head trainer, Nisi & Lisi

Puppies are my favourite — there's nothing like watching a young dog build confidence and good habits from the very beginning. If you want to get ahead of problems before they start, this is the program for you.

★★★★★

Our puppy came back a completely different dog — calm, focused and so much more confident. The foundation Denise built in 4 weeks would have taken us years on our own.

FAQ

What age does my puppy need to be?

The Perfect Puppy program is designed for puppies aged 3 to 6 months. This is the critical socialisation window — the earlier the better.

Will my puppy be okay away from home?

Puppies settle into our home environment quickly. They live with us — not in a kennel — surrounded by people, dogs and animals. Most are happy within the first day.

How far do dogs travel to attend?

Dogs travel to us from across BC and Alberta. Pickup is available from Kelowna, Chilliwack and Vancouver, with Lower Mainland door-to-door starting July 2026.

Will the training stick when my puppy comes home?

Yes — every program includes a full home orientation and 12 months of ongoing support. We teach you exactly what we taught your puppy so you can maintain and build on it.
