PUPPY CLASSES
PUPPY HEAD START
For puppies 10 - 20 weeks

Puppy class is comprised of an obstacle course, off-leash playtime and a lesson with question and answer time. Lessons include puppy care, problem prevention, house training, mouthing, and introduction to sit, down, leave it and recall. You will learn the basic foundation of how to start off on the right paw by using positive training methods!
Early socialization is the BEST thing you can do for your puppy! Lack of socialization increases the risk of problem behaviors later in the dog's life. Socializing your dog includes dogs, people of all ages, shapes and sizes, environments, objects, sounds, smells and the world all around them.
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. Rabies is not a requirement for Puppy Head Start.
