Group Classes

Puppy Kindergarten Class
Puppy Kindergarten training is a must for all young puppies! Puppy Kindergarten Class is designed for young puppies (under 19 weeks old at the start of class) and it runs for seven weeks for an hour every week. It provides an important foundation of learning to avoid potential behavior problems as your dog grows older. The primary goal of class is to provide socialization and an introduction to basic training in a positive manner. Puppies and their owners will learn basic cues such as sit, down, stay, come, watch me and polite leash walking. Every class with the puppies also features playtime, puppy massage, question and answer time, and a feature discussion topic of the week (i.e. chewing, nipping, housebreaking, grooming and more!)

Note: Please do not bring your puppy to the first of the seven classes.
