A progress summary
A clear account of demonstrated understanding, unfinished work, and appropriate next steps, with optional paid continuation explained before access ends.
Eight weeks of instruction. Completion of Stage 1 and readiness to advance depend on the puppy’s development and the family’s participation. There is no guaranteed behavioral outcome.
Clear support terms. Private coaching, ongoing personal text support, and video review outside class are separate paid services. Pre-pickup preparation is separate from the eight-week Puppy School period.
From reservation to the first weeks at home
A clear journey for every family.
The breeder introduces the benefit. Tony guides enrollment and education. Families put the foundations into everyday practice.
Preparation meeting ages are approximate. Published dates, time zones, and class availability are confirmed before enrollment.
Welcome and connect
The breeder sends the family welcome packet and enrollment instructions. With the family’s permission, the breeder shares the information needed to begin onboarding.
Prepare the people and the home
Families review the program, attend preparation meetings, submit setup photos, complete orientation, and sign their participation agreement before a live seat is confirmed.
Learn, practice, and review
Families attend their assigned group, submit required videos, and practice the step appropriate for their puppy. The teaching schedule is shared; practical progression remains individual.
Understand what comes next
Complimentary live instruction ends on the confirmed date. Families keep supplied materials and may choose paid services for unfinished Stage 1 work or continued guidance.

Bring the partnership to your families.
- Confirm litter numbers and teaching capacity with Tony before advertising class availability.
- Introduce the program before pickup and send the welcome packet when a family reserves a puppy.
- Share household information with permission and encourage enrollment, preparation, and attendance.
- Continue managing buyer screening, puppy placement, health information, and any return or rehoming arrangements.
Guide the preparation and learning.
- Provide program resources, orientation, and clear enrollment instructions.
- Confirm groups, published schedules, assignments, and each family’s final complimentary date.

- Identify participation concerns and appropriate next steps, including optional paid support when needed.
A good fit
This partnership suits breeders who want families to prepare before pickup, participate actively after pickup, and understand that development takes consistent work. Puppy purchase alone does not reserve a live class seat.

Before you join
Questions breeders ask.
For exact enrollment terms, review the Breeder Partner Agreement with Tony.
Is there a fee for the breeder or the puppy family?
Eligible families receive eight weeks of complimentary Puppy School through an agreed breeder partnership. The current Breeder Partner Agreement does not establish a breeder participation fee, referral commission, or revenue share. Any separate financial arrangement must be agreed in writing before it is advertised or charged.
Can I enroll a planned litter?
You can start the conversation before puppies are born. Share the expected due date, pickup timing, and estimated participating households. Tony confirms teaching capacity and the agreed schedule before dates are promised to families.
Are the pre-pickup meetings part of the eight weeks?
No. Preparation meetings are planned around two, four, and six weeks of age, with exact dates confirmed for each litter. The eight-week Puppy School period follows its own confirmed group start and end dates.
What if a family cannot attend its assigned time?
Families must check published dates and times before enrolling. Tony does not create customized classes, private make-up sessions, or extensions for schedule conflicts. Missed lessons use supplied resources and catch-up instructions within the original period.
Does eight weeks guarantee completion of Stage 1?
No. All Stage 1 teaching content is organized into eight weeks, while practical progression follows the puppy’s development and the family’s application. Further instruction or deferred assessment review after the final date requires optional paid enrollment. No subscription starts automatically.
How do owners submit homework and ask questions?
Families use their own WhatsApp account and add Tony at 949-887-3303. They send original videos and lesson questions directly at least 24 hours before class. Video evidence is reviewed during available class time. WhatsApp access does not include unlimited private coaching or outside-class video review.
What happens if a puppy is returned and placed again?
The puppy returns to the breeder, who evaluates health and manages the new placement. After agreement and orientation, an approved replacement household receives its own eight weeks of complimentary access to Tony’s ongoing client Zoom group. This uses the group’s established schedule and does not create a new dedicated Puppy School cohort or promise all eight lessons in sequence. Access ends after eight weeks unless paid enrollment is chosen.
