Puppy Classes
Are you a new puppy parent looking to set your pup up for lifelong success? Our Puppy Training Group Class is designed to help you and your dog build a solid foundation using positive reinforcement training in a fun, supportive, and educational environment.
What's Involved?
This 4-week class is ideal for puppies aged 8 weeks to 5 months and focuses on:
- Basic obedience (sit, down, recall, loose leash walking)
- Confidence building through games and controlled exposure
- Impulse control and manners around people and other dogs
- Proper socialization and body language awareness
- Problem prevention (jumping, biting, chewing, etc.)
What To Expect.
Led by a certified positive reinforcement trainer, each class will guide you through hands-on learning with your puppy and provide practical tips to manage common puppy challenges at home. Our focus is not only on training but also on strengthening the human-canine bond.
Puppy Play Groups may be incorporated into class when appropriate, allowing for safe and beneficial social interaction between puppies under trainer supervision.
