Puppy Training
The Importance and Benefits of Training for Your Frenchton Puppy
Training your puppy is an important positive investment into the future of both your puppy and your home.
A well-trained puppy is most likely to become an excellent family member understanding your behavioral expectations, your house-rules, and healthy safety parameters.
Training can also strengthen the bond between you and your pup, as it helps create a trusting relationship between the two of you.
Many new puppy owners might find the idea of puppy training intimidating, especially if it’s their first time owning a dog. However, we offer training options for you through our sister company Crockett Doodles located around South Carolina and North Carolina.
Puppy Training Overview
Training typically lasts 2–8 weeks, with a minimum of 2 weeks. We highly recommend at least 3 weeks for the best results.
Our pricing is an all-inclusive rate that includes the food, vaccines and continued healthcare.
Extra fees may apply for transportation.
1. Board & Train – $900/week
Our most complete puppy training experience.
Your puppy stays with a Crockett Pups Trainer in a family setting. During this time, your pup learns the foundations of good manners, crate training, and early obedience. This program is perfect for families who want a smoother transition home.
2. Board & Potty Train – $600/week (2 weeks)
This option focuses on early potty habits.
We use a daily schedule to help your puppy develop consistency and routine. Families who want a head start on house training often choose this program.

Safe and trusted care with no formal training.
If you’re traveling or need extra time before bringing your puppy home, this option ensures your pup is loved and cared for in a home environment.

How do I sign up for a Puppy Trainer?
Once you are matched to your Frenchton pup, you’ll be sent an email introducing our current training options that also includes a link to our Training Questionnaire. We will not be able to match you to a trainer until after you are matched to your puppy.Â
Simply submit the requested information that asks for your input about your puppy’s living environment, your specific requests, and any special circumstances that should be considered such as training to pee pads for apartment living, preparation for other pets in your home, specific command words, etc. This will help our Training Coordinator understand your goals to help match your puppy to the best Trainer to accomplish those goals. After submitting your questionnaire, our Training Coordinator will be glad to help answer any further questions you may have (like applicable fees, the Trainer’s environment, special requests, etc.)
Healthy Expectations
At Crockett Pups, our Puppy Trainers are excellent and experienced. That said, we need to be sure you understand that each puppy is wonderfully unique. The longer your puppy is in training, the more your puppy will retain. Please keep in mind that we cannot fully train any puppy within the number of weeks of training we offer.
Training is an ongoing commitment between you and your puppy for at least the first year of their life. We will make sure your puppy has an understanding of the commands you request, but the final success of your puppy’s training (crate, potty, leash, etc.) largely depends on your consistent follow-through with the schedules and procedures that your Trainer has been using with your puppy.
