Start your puppy off on the right paw by enrolling in our puppy class today!
Puppy Kindergarten provides a safe, positive, controlled environment for you and your puppy to learn important skills. You will learn how to provide your puppy with good, safe socialization that will have a lasting impact through out their lives. We will cover topics such as potty training, puppy biting, chewing and provide you with essential skills in order to have successful outings with your puppy, setting them up for stress free vet visits, easy grooming and much more!
Start early and the training will be easier! Your puppy will begin to learn essential good manners behaviors to help them on their journey to becoming a well mannered pup. It is much easier to establish good behavior from the start than to modify unwanted behavior. Your puppy will learn to respond to their name, sit, polite greeting, come when called, etc.
