Early puppy stages can be messy, challenging, and overwhelming, but the right training can make all the difference. At Barkefellers® Columbus, our Puppy Prep Stay School is designed to guide young pups through these critical development stages, helping stop unwanted behaviors before they become habits. Our puppy training specialists focus on building confidence, resilience, and responsiveness as your dog grows.

This beginner program covers essential commands, impulse control, socialization, and practical solutions for common puppy behaviors. Our certified trainers use positive, reward-based techniques to support learning while helping your pup reach important milestones. We also equip pet parents with the tools needed to communicate clearly and maintain structure at home.

Training fits seamlessly into busy schedules, simply drop your puppy off for school and allow them to stay with us for a month-long lodge-and-learn experience. Upon completion, we celebrate your pup’s success with a certificate, graduation photo, and a confident return home ready to thrive with your family.
