Puppy Raising
Professional Puppy Raising in a Trainers Home
Getting a new puppy and want to start them off right? Or have a puppy and need some help? Going away on vacation and want to make sure your pup gets extra attention while you are gone? Look no further because All Dogs Go to Helen puppy raising program is here.
Have your puppy come stay at the home of Helen, top certified trainer and owner of No Monkey Business Dog Training and All dogs go to Helen and be treated as one of the family. They will be crate trained, potty trained, socialized to cats, birds, dogs, kids and also taken on excursions daily to continue the important socialization process. They will also have fundamental skills started like learning about walking on leash, some basic obedience, and other life skills depending on the puppy!
Puppies will stay for a minimum of one week and then go home! Families will get updates daily as well as pictures and videos and may choose to extend their visit with Helen if they like for another week. At the end of the visit you get a meeting on how to continue your progress and then jump right into a puppy class to ensure your (and your puppy’s) education continues!
The beginning of your puppy’s life is such an important period and many people simply don’t have the available time needed to dedicate those first few days and weeks of being home to their puppy and working on skills. With this program we help puppies get the best start possible so both you and your pup have wonderful happy lives together.
Helen only takes one puppy at a time to ensure they get all the attention needed!
Puppies aged 8 weeks – 16 weeks are accepted into this program! We have many different packages available to suit different needs and budgets, check out our services page for more info.

Frequently asked questions
Why only 8-16 week old puppies?
This is the critical period of learning for dogs. Everything they are exposed to at this age in a positive or negative way will shape how they end up feeling about it later on in life. This is also where important skills need to be worked on to have a well rounded dog later on, like handling, crate training and of course potty training.
Helen's home has dogs, big and small, cats, birds, kids and even horses to expose your pup to, in a fully fenced in acre backyard! It's a puppy boarding dream come true!
Older dogs usually do well in typical boarding facilities, but puppies do best when staying in a home environment where consistency and love is always there
How does pick up and drop off work?
Most puppies are picked up by Helen at No Monkey Business Dog Training in Concord where you all meet. Drop off is usually there also so Helen can go over all the skills learned and how to continue in your own home. Times for drop off and pick ups are very flexible and we work around your needs!
Do we get to see our puppy during the week?
No. It can be too confusing, BUT, Helen will send videos, pictures and texts the entire time to keep you updated on whats being learned
Will what the puppy learns really stick at our home?
That depends on you! Helen will do everything possible to make sure you know how to continue on at your own home but without your follow through it will be hard to keep the skills fresh. Just like learning a new language, practice makes perfect!
What do we send our puppy with?
We provide everything needed! The crate, the beds, the toys and all the love! You just need to send your puppy with food, their dish, and a leash and collar!
How much does it cost?
Check out our services page for details!
Payment in full is due at the time of drop off with Helen and a 50% deposit is required to reserve the week or two that your puppy will be staying at the time of booking. Because only one puppy stays at a time this ensures your spot is held.
