Puppy Training & Socialization
You have a new puppy - congratulations! We're here to help you succesfully navigate early puppyhood.
We've carefully honed our Puppy Program over the past 15 years to bring you classes that we are very proud of. Time flies when you're playing with puppies!
Our classes are designed with your dog's longterm success in mind. We do this using science, positive exposure to the world and reward-based training. Our goal is to support you through the early brain development and socialization period of your puppy’s life and beyond.
We help you prevent future fear-based behavior problems, learn how to properly socialize your dog, and problem solve common puppy issues. We pride ourselves in using our combined experience and knowledge to offer you the best puppy curriculum we can imagine.
If you have a puppy between 8 and 24 weeks old, read on. If your dog is older, check out our Adolescent & Adult Classes Page.
