Puppy Kindergarten

Our puppy kindergarten is unique as it is 100% home-based training. Your puppy leaves our “Windsong” home and travels to one of our trainer’s homes. Because of our extremely high capture rate for training, your puppy almost always has a littermate going to the same trainer’s home. We feel that this is a gentle way to transition our puppies away from their mama and the entire litter. Once your puppy arrives at the trainer’s home, they are immediately integrated into a busy home and family life. There are older dogs and kids to interact with and learn from. The puppies adapt to being comfortable alone while still having play time with other dogs. Other popular training programs utilize a kennel situation which is very traumatizing for a puppy that has never been in that environment before. When you choose Windsong’s Puppy Kindergarten, you know your puppy has gone from one loving home into another.

A huge part of our Puppy Kindergarten program's success is socialization. Well-supervised socialization is the KEY to help shape a puppy into a confident dog. At Windsong, we have proven success at raising confident pups that thrive as therapy, emotional support, and service dogs. Puppies participating in our training kindergarten camps will take part in our intensive socialization curriculum.

We can not emphasize enough how crucial proper training is to shape a happy, confident, and well-mannered adult dog. We also understand that everyone has different training needs or would like to do some training themselves. We provide training programs for everyone and are well-versed in starting your puppy on the right foot for therapy and service programs. Please reach out with questions as we are happy to discuss your specific needs.

As the premier breeder of Goldendoodles in California, we have proven success with our in-home training program.

At Windsong, training actually begins from birth. We raise our puppies in a thoughtful manner from the beginning and continue this gentle & loving, praise-based training for our clients who choose to have additional support. Our Puppy Kindergarten training program is designed to set your puppy up for success by mitigating negative puppy behavior before it begins. Additional training is ideal for our clients who don’t want to deal with new puppy shenanigans or our clients who live city life and want a puppy that is “parvo-ready” and is able to be walked.
