Puppy Class is ongoing and you can begin ANY week!
Puppy class is comprised of a half hour of off-leash playtime and a half hour lesson with questions and answer time. Lessons include introduction/exposure to every day objects, puppy care, problem prevention, house training, mouthing and games that reinforce training. Introduction to sit, down, and recall.
You will learn the basic foundation of how to start off on the right paw by using positive training methods!
There can be some concern about health risks of exposing your puppy to new people, other animals and environments. However it has been determined that the primary and most important time for puppy socialization is within the first three months of life.
The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the standard of care for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully vaccinated. Incomplete or improper socialization during this important time can increase the risk of behavioral problems later in life including fear, avoidance and/or aggression.

Pre-registration required - Proof of vaccination required for puppies - the first of the three part Distemper (DHPP) vaccination series and up to date de-worming.
