Puppy Basics
Don't miss out on our  Puppy Programs!

We offer unique puppy programs unlike any other that can include our Puppy Day Training, Puppy Discovery Socials, and Puppy Group Classes. You can choose to enroll your puppy in any or all of these! 

​

Our Puppy Best Beginnings Level 1 class is our foundation group puppy class. It is a 6 week class and we will work on teaching puppies basic manners and obedience training.  Our Puppy Discovery, Enrichment and Social exposes puppy to a wide variety of items to ensure early confidence building and problem solving. We strongly encourage people to do both our Best Beginnings puppy classes as well as our Puppy Discovery, Enrichment and Social classes. In fact, if you are waiting for your puppy class to start, the Puppy Discovery Class will kick start your training.
