For puppies from partner litters

Puppy Preschool gives families a better prepared puppy.

Puppy Preschool is a structured 3-week early development program, beginning when puppies are weaned. Some litters come to K9 Level Up for the full preschool experience, while select partner litters may add daytime preschool sessions and continue living with their breeder.

What puppies practice

Age-appropriate exposure, training, and care.

Puppy Preschool is designed for the sensitive early window when puppies are learning how the world feels. The work is gentle, practical, and adjusted to each litter's age, confidence, temperament, and readiness.

Puppies may practice:

  • Car acclimation and safe field trips to puppy-appropriate places.
  • Handling, grooming table comfort, nail trims, baths, and body awareness.
  • Crate introduction, potty foundations, and early home-life routines.
  • Problem-solving games, new surfaces, sounds, movement, and confidence-building.
  • Resource guarding prevention, calm behavior, treat-taking, and beginning manners.
  • Observation notes to help breeders and families better understand each puppy.

Program options

Two ways puppies may participate.

Foundation Puppy Preschool at K9 Level Up

For litters who come to K9 Level Up from weaning and stay for roughly three weeks before going home. This is arranged through breeder partnerships.

For active partner litters, puppy families can use the current litter links below to follow photos, notes, curriculum, and developmental updates.

Daytime Foundation Puppy Preschool

For puppy families whose breeder is already working with K9 Level Up. Puppies attend preschool during the day while still living at the breeder's home.

$75 per day, including transport to and from the breeder's home

For puppy buyers

Follow along with your litter.

When a breeder shares a litter spreadsheet, families can see the real work happening behind the scenes: weights, visitors, curriculum, notes, photos, and the experiences puppies are receiving before going home.
