Training
Building Confidence Before Your Puppy Comes Home
A puppy’s first weeks shape the months and years that follow. Our optional training programs are designed to give puppies—and their future families—a smoother, more confident start together.
Training opportunities are offered to a limited number of puppies after reservations are confirmed.
A Smoother Start at Home
The transition to a new home is one of the biggest moments in a puppy’s life.
Our optional training programs introduce basic routines, confidence-building,
and early manners before your puppy ever comes home—making those first weeks easier for both you and your family.
Training Builds Confidence
Training isn’t about creating a perfectly behaved puppy overnight.
It’s about building confidence, establishing routines, and creating positive early experiences that make learning easier throughout life.
Raised in a Real Home
Every puppy is raised in a family environment.
That means training happens where real life happens.
What Families Can Expect
- Gentle, reward-based methods
- Early socialization
- Confidence-building experiences
- Age-appropriate foundations
- Ongoing guidance after take-home day
The goal is simple — send home puppies that are easier to adjust and easier to live with.

Bring Home a Prepared Companion
Whether you choose additional training or not, every Cavador puppy receives a strong foundation before joining your family.
Puppies not enrolled in training go home at the standard time.
Every Family Is Different
Some families enjoy doing all of the training themselves.
Others appreciate a little extra help before bringing their puppy home.
Neither choice is better.
Our goal is simply to give you options that fit your family’s needs.

Building Trust Before Our First Litter
Every great breeding program starts with trust.
