It is very important to begin training your new puppy so that it learns its place in the family and learns acceptable behavior.  Our Puppy Kindergarten class is the first step towards turning your precocious puppy into a well-mannered dog.  We accept puppies from 8 weeks to 5 months for this class.  The group class itself runs 8 weeks and covers almost every aspect of puppy hood.

In Puppy Kindergarten, your puppy will learn the following commands:

• Heel
• Sit
• Stay
• Down
• Come
• Leash walking
• Wait at door

We will also work on behavior modification to solve such problem areas as:

• Housebreaking
• Jumping on people
• Chewing
• Biting
• Nipping

Through positive reinforcement, consisting of praise and reward, your puppy will quickly learn a great deal.  At the same time, you will learn a great deal about your puppy and will form an important bond that will last well beyond the 8 week course.

Be sure to check the schedule for times and for current rates.  Our highly-qualified staff is continually conducting classes in our spacious facility and there should be a new class starting soon.
