In-Home Puppy Training

Fetch Worthy has extensive experience raising puppies and uses the most up-to-date puppy development and training techniques. Many clients describe our puppy program as “the best money they’ve ever spent on their dog.”

Our program is designed for puppies from six months to two yearsold. It is a proven way to lay a solid foundation in training and socialization for your dog during its most formative months.

Virtual Puppy Training

If you are doing most of the work and need guidance on specific puppy socialization or training tasks, this option includes six online sessions at an affordable cost.

Our program is designed for puppies from six months to two yearsold.

Group Classes (TBA)

The benefits of a group dog training class include spending quality time with your dog, strengthening your bond, practicing around distractions, and being more cost-effective than private lessons.

  • Basic Manners, Advanced, Canine Good Citizen Prep, and special topic classes like recall, AKC Tricks, and more

Do We Use Food to Train?

Yes! Food (and other reinforcers) are to dogs as money is to humans. While each individual is different in their choice of reinforcer, it’s usually protein-based foods for dogs. We can add value to non-food reinforcers, and it’s a skill that I can teach.
