Puppy Kindergarten - 4 weeks long, 6 spots available

The Puppy K Program is essential for all owners with puppies under 4 months of age. We focus on developing skills which will aid your puppy in becoming a well-mannered adult. Socialization with people, housetraining, crate training, nipping, potty training, and handling are just a few of the topics covered in this incredible class. Your puppy will get a head start in name recognition, coming when called, sits and downs, and loose leash walking. The first few months of a dog's life are critical in how they will develop later on in life. With our Puppy K class, your dog will be on the right track to avoid behavioral issues such as fear, aggression, and anxiety. The cost of this course is $200. From new owner to pro, this class is for you!
