Puppy Programs
Every Spring Valley puppy starts with the same loving foundation: raised in our home, handled every day and well socialized. From there, you choose the path that fits your family, a Companion puppy who comes home at 8 weeks, or a Pre-School or Kindergarten Puppy who comes home with a head start on training.
Pricing
Companion puppies are $3,500 (plus tax). Pre-School and Kindergarten Puppies are priced to the training program and any customizations you request, so we quote them personally. Contact us and we will gladly walk you through the options.

Companion Puppies
Our Companion puppies go home at 8 weeks, ready for you to raise from the very start.
They come home with:
- A start on potty and crate training
- Crate time and sleeping through the night
- Lots of socialization with people and other animals
Perfect for families who want to shape every part of their puppy’s training themselves.
Pre-School Puppies
Our Pre-School Puppies have already started their education, which makes training at home so much easier. They’ll still need follow-up and daily consistency from you, but they come home with a great foundation. We train without treats, and the results are amazing!
Over 4 weeks of training with us, our Pre-School Puppies work on:
- Loose-leash walking
- Sit, stay and come
- Crate and house training
- No jumping or nipping
- Mat training
Pre-School Puppies are ready to go home at 12 weeks old.
Kindergarten Puppies
Bring home all the joy of puppyhood without starting from scratch.
Our Kindergarten Puppies have finished everything in Pre-School, then continue their one-on-one training with us in a real home environment, for 7 weeks of training in all. They’re ready to go home at 15 weeks old. They already know how to live in a family home, which makes the move easier and far less stressful for you and your puppy.
Everything our Pre-School Puppies learn, plus:
- Crate training foundations
- Household manners
- Confidence in new places
- Comfortable around other dogs and people
Kindergarten Puppies are perfect for busy families, first-time dog owners, or anyone who wants an exceptional companion with a head start.
Because each one takes 7 weeks of dedicated training, only a few Kindergarten Puppies are available with each litter.
Need a little more time?
Upon request and with our prior approval, we can hold your puppy a little longer and continue their training while your family prepares for their forever home.
