About
How well you train and socialize your new puppy in its first few weeks sets the stage for its success in the years to come. Working with a new puppy is a full-time job, so I have made it mine! I have been raising foster puppies for 9 years and have had hundreds of dogs come through my door. Animal welfare is my passion and while working with multiple rescues and shelters, I noticed how many dogs were surrendered by their owners due to basic behavioral issues. Many such issues, like potty-training, crate-training, and socialization, can be solved with time, effort, and the guidance of an experienced trainer before becoming the type of problem that strains the relationship between puppy and owner. The goal of Puppy Preparatory School is to set puppies up for success in their new homes and help prevent negative behaviors in the future.

We were referred to Jamie by our friend who had a very positive experience. We were not disappointed. Jamie was very thorough upfront on what expectations we had and whether they were pie in the sky goals we had for our puppy. She was VERY RESPONSIVE to all of our questions/concerns before, during and after our puppys training. Our puppy was 16 weeks when we hired her and when we finished the training he was crate trained and mostly potty trained. Her knowledge and professionalism made it a no brainier for us when we selected her for training. She also offered assistance after our training period was over. Our dog is now 6 1/2 months old and is a sweetheart. We highly recommend her and have already referred PUPPY PREPARATORY to many of our friends. You wont be disappointed!

Jamie and her team are the puppy whisperers of Charlotte! They are amazing! We have never had a puppy before so the whole experience was really daunting for our family, but from the moment I called Jamie, she put me at ease that she was going to help me and my new puppy be successful. She is so communicative and responsive - I never had to guess how my puppy was doing, and she answered every single one of my questions with kind,thoughtful, professional, patient responses. We get compliments all the time on how well behaved our puppy is, but more than that, the fact that Jamie helped train our puppy AND us allowed both us, as owners, and the puppy to be more relaxed and ultimately made for an easier time bonding and getting used to one another. The time our puppy spent training with Jamie, and the time Jamie spent training us, was well worth the investment. I can't say enough good things about Jamie and her team!

Asher has been going to Jamie since he was 10 weeks old. First for 4 week boarding where she covered everything you would need: crate, potty, socialization and commands! We have continued to use Jamie thru the day train offering to continue improvement ( commands and training are daily routines and tasks for Asher and strengthens our etiquette as a growing young man). Fantastic news that Jamie is offering this program and Asher cant wait to see all his fur friends. I HIGHLY recommend Puppy Preparatory whether you are are first time dog mom like me OR value early education in puppies!

Inola attended Puppy Preparatorys puppy daycare from early November through December. Jamie always checked to see if there were any areas of focus we wanted her to address as daycare included not only socialization but also obedience training. Inola was always eager to go to Jamies and was always exhausted after attending.

Thank you so much, Lauren! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We absolutely loved working with Inola and hope to see her again soon!!

I chose Puppy Preparatory because I had seen a close friend do the 2 week board and train program for their pup! I got in contact with Jamie and she was so kinda and helped explain everything perfectly. My pup also did the 2 week board and train and has learned so much. Jamie even checks in after the program making sure if you need any help and just to see overall how the pups experience has been post training. Definitely have recommended others to Jamie and only wish her the best with her company.
