Puppy Pre-School – Ages 7-14 Weeks
Learn how to properly socialize your pup and help him/her develop into a calm, confident adult dog! Dogs who have been properly socialized as pups learn to accept changes well, enjoy having new experiences, and are less likely to become fearful or aggressive. They also can learn self-control and have a solid foundation to become great family pets! Take advantage of this early learning period & help your puppy develop into an awesome dog!

Puppy Kindergarten – Ages 8-20 Weeks
At this age, puppies will soon begin their ‘Juvenile Period’ of development, which is similar to our teen years. This is a time of rapid growth, increased excitability, and independence. Puppies in this period need consistent leadership (not to be confused with ‘dominance’), lots of daily exercise, and training with positive reinforcement. This can be a frustrating time for owners, which is a great reason to take your pup to classes! Learn to capture your puppy’s attention and begin the foundation training for a lifetime of canine manners!
