For puppies up to 6 months old, this class is perfect for socializing your puppy! Each week you will learn how to teach your dog simple commands such as sit, down, stay and come. Your puppy will be able to greet and play with other puppies and humans.

Housebreaking & Crate Training: Our techniques make housebreaking your dog simple and quick. Learn techniques that will help your dog understand that you want him/her to eliminate outdoors.
Becoming your puppy’s Pack Leader: Every good dog has a strong leader. Learn how to build your dog’s confidence and trust by becoming your dog’s leader.
Preparing Your Puppy for the Groomer: A groomer will be on hand to give grooming tips and to “get to know” your puppy to prepare him for his first visit to the groomers.
Raising Children and Dogs Together: Children and puppies don’t always go hand in paw. Learn the common mistakes dog parents allow their children to make while “playing” with his/her new puppy. Learn how to know if your child’s interactions with your puppy are safe and healthy or a recipe for disaster.
Dog Park Etiquette: When you’re at the dog park do you really know if your dog is safe? Learn what positive play looks like and prevent bullying on the doggie playground.
