Helping Breeders Build Stronger Foundations
I'm Stephanie Major, founder of Breeders Bootcamp and creator of practical, experience-based education that helps breeders raise confident puppies and build strong foundations from birth through puppy placement.
EDUCATE. EMPOWER. SUPPORT.
That's why I created Breeders Bootcamp.
I didn't set out to create courses.
I simply wanted to become a better breeder.
As I gained experience raising litters, I began noticing something that changed the way I looked at puppy development. Some puppies seemed naturally confident and resilient, while others struggled with fear, anxiety, and everyday challenges—even when they came from excellent genetics.
I couldn't help but ask why.
That question led me to years of research, continuing education, and hands-on experience. What I discovered changed the way I raised my puppies forever.
Healthy puppies need more than good genetics. They need intentional experiences during the first weeks of life that help shape their confidence, resilience, and ability to thrive.
That realization became the foundation of Breeders Bootcamp—and the mission that continues to guide it today.
Today, I help breeders confidently navigate every stage of the breeding journey through practical, organized, experience-based education they can immediately put into practice.
If Breeders Bootcamp helps you raise healthier, more confident puppies—and gives you greater confidence as a breeder—then I've accomplished exactly what I set out to do.
