8 week old puppy is $4,000. At 2-3 weeks old, we start the puppies on a socialization and training program utilizing many of the protocols and lessons from the Puppy Culture Program. As soon as our puppies can walk they are introduced to textures, wobble boards, and brain stimulating exercises. Once they are old enough to go outside, they conquer obstacles of different shapes and sizes to build confidence and problem solving skills. This is when we really start to see personalities come out and our confidence training begins. By eight weeks of age, our puppies have a solid potty training foundation, know how to use a dog door, are highly socialized, are taught to sit calmly for affection, do not charge an open gate, are crate trained, and much more.
12 week old puppy is $6,000. Want a puppy, but can’t fathom getting up at night or struggle with the thought of potty training, creating a routine, or safely socializing your puppy? If so, this package is for you! Post eight weeks old your puppy will transition from their playpen to being a member of our pack. It’s time to grow up, the foundation we laid up to eight weeks continues to grow. They quickly learn how to tether at different stations in our home, routinely go for car rides, learn how to walk on a leash, sleep through the night in a crate, are groomed and bathed weekly, and constantly challenged to grow their confidence level. A confident puppy leads to a well-adjusted adult dog that is easier to train, more adaptable to new situations, less likely to develop anxieties or fears, and overall provides a more enjoyable companionship. Your puppy will go home wormed and vaccinated, receiving their 8 and 12 week shots.
Trained Puppy is $8,500 at 16 weeks of age. Want a turnkey puppy, this package is for you!

After the completion of the two week board and train, the puppy will return to Summit Doodles for additional training. We will focus on growing the puppies foundation, feed their curiosity, build confidence, continue to socialize them, and tackle potty training! Specific behaviors we strive for are accepting a friendly stranger, sits politely for petting, calm in crowds of people, stays composed around other dogs on a walk, and has confident and controlled reactions in highly populated areas such as parks, grocery stores, or sports fields. Your puppy will go home fully wormed and vaccinated, receiving their 8, 12, and 16 week shots including rabies, this means no routine vet appointments until 1 year of age.
