Puppy Preschool—4 weeks

Puppy Preschool is for puppies up to 6 months of age. Classes will meet 1x per week for 4 weeks. Puppies must be properly vaccinated to attend this class.

Puppy classes are such an important foundation for the rest of your dogs’ lives. They are like children learning their ABCs. Our classes are designed to strengthen the communication and understanding between you and your puppy, as well as to teach your puppy manners and self-control. We will teach a variety of things over the course of this class. Here are just a few examples. We will cover all the basic obedience commands, such as "sit," "stay," and "come"; basic hand signals; house training; and grooming, including nail clipping and ear cleaning.

How the Training Works

Our training process is designed to help dogs overcome behavioral challenges and build better relationships with their families — all through personalized, real-world training methods.

Step 1: Training Registration Form

Everything begins with our Training Registration Form, which provides us with all the essential details about your dog — their background, behavior concerns, environment, and goals. This information allows us to tailor a training plan that fits your dog’s unique needs.

Step 2: In-Home Consultation and Full Behavior Evaluation

Next, we schedule an In-Home Consultation and Full Behavior Evaluation, typically lasting around three hours. Observing your dog in their own environment helps us see behaviors as they truly are. Dogs often act differently outside of their comfort zone, so this home-based session is crucial for identifying underlying issues and understanding what triggers certain behaviors.

Step 3: Follow-Up Sessions

After the initial evaluation, we discuss and determine the group class that best suits your training goals. We will discuss class availability as well as group activities available suck as pack walks, public pup outings and available play groups.Â
