Puppies are always learning whether we are actively training them or not. Our Puppy Classes are designed to start puppies off on the right paw while still allowing them to experience the pure joy of being a puppy. Both classes are similar in course description and teaching style with only the times being different. Whenever possible classes will be split based on age.
