Walnut Valley Puppies has partnered with BAXTER & Bella—an easy to use and fun online school for training your Bernedoodle puppy.

With our special discount code, Walnut Valley families get 25% off lifetime access to this exclusive MEMBERS ONLY online puppy school. Inside you’ll find all the training resources you need to become a better pet owner and raise an amazing Bernedoodle companion!

Why Is Puppy Training So Important?

As crucial as the first 8 weeks of a puppy’s life are, most of a puppy’s training and socialization happens after they come home with you.

This can be an overwhelming time for first-time puppy owners (or those who haven’t had a puppy in a while). But with BAXTER & Bella you’ll find the support you need. 

Here’s what’s inside:

  • Lifetime access to 60+online lessons
  • Step-by-step training programs for all stages of development
  • Take the program at your own pace (unlike live training)
  • Access to FaceTime calls with professional trainer & course creator Amy Jensen
  • Access to over 100 videos, printable checklists & charts, and fieldtrip suggestions for your puppy!

Get instant access for 25% off using code WALNUT25.

Discount Membership for Walnut Valley Puppies!

Puppy classes typically cost $50–$200 for a couple months of weekly classes. Once the class runs its course, you’re then back on your own—which is the main reason our family prefers BAXTER & Bella for our puppies and their new homes.

You get a lifetime membership to BAXTER & Bella for just $238. Go back and watch videos as many times as needed until you and your puppy get it right. And with the discount code WALNUT25 you automatically get 25% off your purchase!

Would You Rather Receive a Trained Puppy?

If you’re traveling during the time of pick up—or would like to have your puppy professionally trained—we encourage you to find a reputable trainer. In the past, we have worked with several different trainers that we have come to trust and recommend. One of them is Milo’s Puppy Boot Camp.

Milo’s Puppy Boot Camp picks up your puppy from us at 8 weeks old. They then board and train your puppy for anywhere from 4-16 weeks, depending on the package you choose. 

Training time is spent on crate training, leash work, basic commands, potty training, socialization, and more. Then, once your puppy’s training is complete, they’ll arrange transportation to get your puppy to you—all ready for your new life together!

If you are on our waitlist or are thinking about applying for a puppy and are interested in this service, please reach out to Penny@milospuppybootcamp.com or visit their website at milospuppybootcamp.com

By mentioning Walnut Valley Puppies in your communications, you receive 10% off most training packages!

If you live in Illinois and are looking for a good trainer, please feel free to ask us for references!
