At Barkefellers® Columbus, we understand that while bringing home a puppy is incredibly rewarding, it can also come with real challenges. Puppies don’t arrive with instructions, which is why we’ve created a dedicated training program designed specifically for young pups up to six months of age.

Our Puppy Prep program helps guide families through essential puppy management skills needed for long-term success. We work with you to establish routines that keep your puppy happy, support safe interactions with children, and encourage healthy habits that build strong, lasting bonds. Through structured socialization and guided activities, your pup learns how to interact appropriately with other dogs while developing skills related to health, safety, obedience, and basic commands—all while addressing common puppy behavior challenges.

We use positive, reward-based training methods to make learning engaging and stress-free. Throughout the program, we stay closely connected with you, sharing progress updates, insights into your puppy’s learning style, and at-home practice guidance. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, a graduation photo, and a celebratory send-off to mark their achievement.
