For Puppies Ages 8–20 Weeks —$2,800

Get your puppy off on the right paw.

The best time to shape a dog's behavior is before bad habits have a chance to form. Just as children attend kindergarten to learn the foundational expectations of their world (sharing, listening, following directions) puppies between 8 and 20 weeks are in a critical developmental window where everything they encounter is brand new. The habits, routines, and social skills established now will benefit your dog for the rest of their life.

Your puppy will live on our farm for 2 weeks as part of our pack, receiving structured guidance, socialization, and environmental exposure during the most impressionable stage of their development.

Note: Undervaccinated puppies have their own dedicated potty and play area to keep them safe.

What Your Puppy Will Be Introduced To:

• Crate training

• Basic obedience foundations

• Socialization with people, animals, and environments

• Environmental stimulation — new places, sounds, smells, and experiences

• Beginning potty training routine

What's Included:

• Initial consultation at pickup from your home

• Photo and video updates throughout the program

• 1-hour go-home session at our facility or at your home (within 50-mile radius)

• Follow us on Instagram @thurmansplace for a look at daily life on the farm

Van Shuttle Service $25 per dog, each way | Within 50 miles of zip code 37098

We offer convenient door-to-door pickup and drop-off so your dog's stay is seamless from start to finish.

How It Works:

• We serve locations within a 50-mile radius of zip code 37098

• We'll reach out the evening before your scheduled pickup or drop-off with an estimated timeframe

• Pickups and drop-offs typically occur between 8:00am and 11:30am — during peak seasons, times may extend into the afternoon

Please Note: We strongly discourage scheduling van service on the same day as personal travel such as flights or trips. Unexpected delays on your end can create complications we may not be able to accommodate. If a last-minute change requires an emergency pickup or drop-off, an additional $100 fee will apply and availability cannot be guaranteed.

Pack Play — Day Program $55 per day | Van service included

Pack Play is our structured day program, available Tuesday through Thursday in the Nashville area. We pick your pup up in the morning, they spend the day playing and socializing with the pack, and we bring them home to you that evening — tired, happy, and well cared for.

Service Areas by Day:

• Tuesday — Franklin area

• Wednesday — Nashville area

• Thursday — Brentwood / Nolensville area

Van pickup and drop-off is included in the daily rate.

Grooming Services

Bath & Tidy — $40 Includes bath, ear cleaning, and nail trim.

Deluxe Bath & Groom Pricing varies by size — please contact our office for a quote.

Please note: Additional charges apply for matting. Matting can be uncomfortable and even painful for dogs, and safely removing it requires extra time and care. The best prevention is a regular grooming schedule. We'd love to help you set one up to keep your dog feeling fresh, clean, and tangle-free.

To schedule grooming services, contact our front office at (615) 969-6102.

Groom & Play The ultimate treat for your pup — and a hassle-free day for you.

We pick your dog up in the morning, they spend the day playing with the pack, get groomed that evening, and are returned home to you the next day fresh, clean, and happily worn out.

How It Works:

• Van pickup and drop-off included at no extra charge

• Full day of play and socialization included at no extra charge

• Choose between a full groom or a deluxe bath

• You pay only for the groom or deluxe bath and the one-night stay

Full Groom vs. Deluxe Bath: A deluxe bath is a great option between full grooms — your dog receives a thorough bath plus sanitary and paw cleanup to keep them tidy and comfortable between appointments.

Pricing for both services varies by size. Please contact our office for a quote.

Please note: Additional charges apply for matting. Matting can be uncomfortable and even painful for dogs, and safely removing it requires extra time and care. The best prevention is staying on a regular grooming schedule. We'd love to help you establish a routine.

Groom & Play availability is based on our groomer's schedule. To book, contact our front office at (615) 969-6102.
