*AVAILABLE* Puppy Prodigy Pickles!
Dec 23, 2025
Meet Pickles, our newest Puppy Prodigy! Pickles is a 4-month-old Labrador Retriever from Tidal Retrievers' Beef x Ellis litter. She has been training with our trainer Lilly since she was 8 weeks old and will complete her Puppy Prodigy program at 6 months of age, at which point she will be ready for her forever home. Pickles is now fully crate trained and potty trained, and is learning all the foundations of her training. She’s already excelling at heeling around distractions, holding positions, and carrying herself as a confident young lady wherever she goes. Easygoing and good-natured, she loves snuggling, playing fetch, and napping, and would make a wonderful addition to any home!
Our Puppy Prodigy Program utilizes a unique approach that allows people to experience the joy of a young puppy, but skip over the challenging aspects of puppy training. We provide this program to help families set their puppy up for success and create happy, obedient dogs from day one. We understand that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention.
