Puppy fun

This class is six weeks of puppy fun! Puppies will learn general manners such as sit, down, coming when called, and playing nicely with others. We will also answer important questions such as, "How do I housetrain my puppy?", "How do I get my puppy to stop chewing on the couch?", and "How do I teach my puppy not to jump on people?" Puppy class is the most important class your dog will ever attend.

Puppies must be under 16 weeks of age and have received their first 2 DHLPP vaccinations. Copy of vaccination papers.

If you’re plagued by a more advanced behavior issue, such as aggression or separation anxiety, a private consult or group class.
