Dog Training
Puppyhood is the ideal time to start training and socializing your dog. In addition to getting a head start in training, Puppy Class and Puppy Social Hour give your puppy the opportunity to meet new people and other puppies in a safe, controlled environment so they can blossom into confident, social adults.
Puppy Class: Build up your puppy’s confidence and help them gain essential social skills, both with humans and with other puppies. Puppies begin learning basic behaviors: sit, down, recall, and leave it. Each puppy class has time for training, monitored puppy play, and behavior problem prevention exercises.
Puppy Social Hour: Unlike Puppy Class, Puppy Social Hour is focused entirely on letting puppies meet and play with other puppies and new people rather than training.
Puppy Classes are held every Tuesday, 4:00-5:00 PM.
Puppy Social Hours are held every Tuesday, 5:15-6:15 PM.
PLEASE NOTE: Puppies must be 20 weeks or younger at the time of their first class to be eligible to participate.
You can sign up for one or both at the button below.
