A puppy class is the best way to get your new pup off on the right paw. Socialization and early education are vital to helping a puppy“read” other dogs and acclimate to new situations.

There will also be play time for the puppies and time for the puppies to meet the other people in the class.

Puppy Socialization

Dates: TBD

Class duration: 4 weeks, 1 hour per week

Instructor: TBD

The most rapid learning for a dog occurs during puppyhood, and what a puppy learns will shape the kind of dog he will be as an adult! Teach your puppy the proper lessons and you will vaccinate him against the most common behavior problems seen in adult dogs. At the same time we will give you tips to help take the stress out of being a puppy parent.

This class introduces skills such as attention, body handling, come when called, stay, loose leash walking, leave it and drop it. Your puppy will also interact with other puppies and well-socialized, calm adult dogs. This experience is invaluable for learning dog-to-dog skills.Throughout the class, you’ll learn helpful tips, such as how to deal with chewing, barking and housetraining tips to eliminate accidents.
