Meet Alfie, our newest Puppy Prodigy. Born November 16th, Alfie is a Golden Retriever from Golden Haven Retrievers (Lady x Sonny) and he will be available to a forever home around May 1st when his training is complete. Alfie was hand selected by our trainers for his sweet, but drivey personality (making him a joy to train) and would make the perfect addition to any pet home!
Our Puppy Prodigy Program utilizes a unique approach that allows people to experience the joy of a young puppy, but skip over the challenging aspects of puppy training. We provide this program to help families set their puppy up for success and create happy, obedient dogs from day one. We understand that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention. This program ensures your puppy is well socialized and comes home with an amazing start to their life.
