Optional, structured training completed before your puppy ever comes home — each stage builds on the one before it, raising a dog who's confident, obedient, and ready for family life from day one.
A note on availability: Training is currently offered exclusively for puppies purchased through TAGA Ranch — we're not set up to offer training services for outside dogs at this time.
Each stage builds on the one before it — your puppy progresses through them in order, never skipping ahead.
Core obedience and foundational structure — the starting point every puppy builds from.
Builds on Basic Foundation — house manners, kennel comfort, and daily routine structure.
Builds on everything prior — more advanced commands, distraction training, and reliability.
The final stage — advanced obedience and polish for a dog ready for nearly any situation.
Training pricing is separate from your puppy's purchase price. You may choose any stage, or stop after any completed stage — you're never required to continue to the next.
Prefer a more personal approach? Toni also teaches private training lessons — one session a week, for six weeks — working one-on-one with you and your TAGA puppy on the skills that matter most to your family.
This option is a great fit for families who want hands-on guidance themselves, rather than having training completed before go-home day. Each session runs up to one hour.
Travel is required for in-home sessions — a travel fee may apply based on distance. Contact us to schedule and confirm availability in your area.
Training completed during our Early Development window builds directly on the socialization and structure your puppy is already receiving — rather than starting over once they're home and adjusting to a new environment. It means less guesswork for you, and a dog who already understands structure, boundaries, and connection before they ever meet their new family.
