Started Puppies
These are the currently available “Started Puppies”.
What is a “Started Puppy“?
Here are the training points we use during this program:
- They begin crate training
- They have a great start with house training
- They will sleep through the night
- Learn commands sit & down
- Learn to walk with a leash
- They will also go on short car rides as a part of their training.
Socialization is the key to success in bringing home your new puppy. Crate training done correctly is a lifesaver for dog owners! If a dog is taught through positive reinforcement, they will love the crate, and then it becomes their own private and safe place. Our Started Puppy training program is perfect for busy families that could use a great start!
We have puppies who have completed our Started Puppy Program and are ready to make an excellent addition to your family!

Our Mission
Our Passion
As a family business, everyone right down to the kids and grand-kids are involved in the care and training of our puppies. We take pride in the fact that we are rated the best dog breeder in Caledonia IL.
Humane Breeding
We breed and raise all of our puppies in our home, with our children, making our puppies outgoing and well socialized.
Health Guarantee
When purchasing a dog from AKA’s, you will be given, and required to sign, a health guarantee. This protects you from any genetic defects that appear within the first 24 months of the dog’s life.
Bio-Sensory
We incorporate the Bio-Sensor or Super Dog Program into our socialization and temperament development regimen. The Bio Sensor program easily fit into our established puppy rearing process and supports our values.
The Biosensor Routine is a series of five simple exercises. They are performed on each puppy once a day, starting at three days of age. Each exercise lasts a minimum of three seconds to a maximum of five seconds per exercise. The last exercise is completed on the 16th day.
SMILING DOG CERTIFIED TRAINER
We also take great pride in beginning early training with all of our puppies. Both of our owners are certified by the respected “Smiling Dog Training” program, which focuses on positive reinforcement and relationship-based techniques.
From a young age, our pups are introduced to foundational skills such as crate training, potty routines, and basic commands like “sit” and “come.” This early structure not only helps build confidence but also sets them up for long-term success in their new homes. Our goal is to provide families with well-rounded, eager-to-learn companions who are not only loving but also responsive and well-mannered from the start.
Therapy Dog International
Therapy Dogs International, Inc., founded in 1976, is a volunteer organization dedicated to regulating, testing and registration of therapy dogs and their volunteer handlers for the purpose of visiting nursing homes, hospitals, other institutions and wherever else therapy dogs are needed. The TDI certification test is very similar to the CGC, but adds more exercises involving medical equipment (such as wheelchairs or walkers) and other environmental stimuli that the dog may come across in their volunteer work.
