What is a Started Puppy?

A started puppy is a puppy who begins it's training with Cali Pals before he/she moves on to live with it's new family. The training begins at 8 weeks old and continues until the puppy turns 12 weeks old. This is a great option if you are unable to dedicate the time that is needed to work with a new puppy those first four weeks that are so crucial. Not to say the puppy will be completely trained but it won't be as much work for you because the puppy will have an understanding of what is expected of it before it leaves Cali Pals to join your family!

 

Cali Pals knows the value of a well trained puppy and would like all of our puppies to have a successful start! 

Started Puppy Price (Standard Size): $5000

Started Puppy Price ( Mini Size): $5500

From Ebi's Family: 

Thank you so much for your note. I’ve been meaning to send you an email! Ebi is an absolute sweetheart! The kids are totally in love and obsessed with her. She’s doing well.

From the day she arrived, we keep her bedtime schedule and she has slept through the night in her crate without a peep - thank you!!! She has leaned to play fetch and she is learning to ring her bell to go in and out of the house. We just recently put her inflatable pool away, but she had it up for weeks and she looooved jumping in and out of it. She’s never had a poop accident in the house but still has pee accidents once in a while - especially when guests come over. She went to the vet for check up and shots this week and she weighs 20lbs. ;)
