Puppy Kindergarten$170.00 - Six Week Course - Usually held Thursday nights
|
Puppy classes are designed for dogs under six months. Our goal is to provide a fun, friendly environment for your puppy where we stress interaction between other puppies and instruction in all of the basic obedience commands.
We run our puppy classes on an six week schedule with each class lasting one hour, please inquire for the current schedule. Our classes are normally full two weeks prior to start. Please call or email for current availability.
One of the most important aspects in puppy obedience is to provide your puppy with socialization skills. This allows your puppy to interact with other dogs of different breeds and sizes in order to learn to communicate with one another. This also helps curb aggression towards other dogs and humans.
This is a consecutive course.
