Puppy classes give both you and your puppy the very best start. Any dog up to six months old can take this level.
The first part of each class features a lecture on frequently asked questions and common problems that new puppy owners have. Topics range from housebreaking and chewing to grooming and nutrition. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to get your questions answered.
Through the activities in this class, we give special attention to the socialization of your puppy, bite inhibition and building confidence through agility exercises.
The basic commands are introduced in this beginner course: sit, down, stay, heel, and come (the recall).
