10-Day Puppy Foundation

At Canine Clarity, every journey begins with a Discovery Call, where we take time to understand your family and your puppy. From there, we provide our Puppy Program Foundations, the essential roots that begin to take shape once your Clarity Forms are complete. Built around your family dynamic, daily routines, and your puppy’s training needs, every step is crafted for lasting change and CLARITY.
