Puppy Kindergarten Classes

Prerequisites: Maximum age of 5 months old, at least the first two sets of puppy vaccines.

The Puppy K class is intended to help puppies socialize during their most formative weeks; this class helps you build a bond with your puppy while giving you the skills to raise a well-behaved, well-cared-for dog. It is a fun class of constructive, experience-oriented activities that will introduce owners to the basics of puppy care, training, and handling. The class focuses on socializing your pup with other dogs and people in a productive, structured way as well as exposing them to novel sights and sounds. Canine social skills and owner knowledge of body language and appropriate play is developed through short, supervised off-leash play sessions at the end of each class. 

We recommended owners continue with Beginner Obedience once they have mastered the concepts taught in this class.
