Our Socialization And Training Program
Since 2004, Okefeild Acres has had the exciting opportunity of developing an excellent puppy socialization and training program. So that transitioning to a new home would be more successful, we saw that there was a need for puppies to receive something above the norm that would get them off to the best start possible. Our team of experienced trainers provides this great foundation to develop puppies with intelligent and eager to please temperaments, little minds that learn quickly and that are prepared to settle in with their new families seamlessly or move right into therapy or service work training.
Check out our puppy socialization and training program below, you will appreciate the daily individual sessions that are included with each of our puppies, lessons that will last a lifetime! All of our puppies receive this training, free of charge to get you and your little one off to the best start possible.
