Puppy Program

Puppies need a tremendous amount of social interaction, physical exercise and mental stimulation to ensure they grow into healthy and well-adjusted dogs. Taught by Kristina Ackerman, our puppy program is designed to give your puppy a complete education that includes basic fundamentals as well as extensive socialization and interaction with other dogs and people. Our complete training program helps minimize the development of troublesome behavior problems such as anxiety and aggression that can result from a lack of proper stimulation, socialization and basic training.

Our Puppy Program includes Puppy Kindergarten, Puppy Manners, and Puppy Jr. High that are each taken in succession for maximum retention and skill building. Your puppy will receive a graduation certificate upon completion of each class.

Is your puppy too old to start Puppy Kindergarten (older then 4 months)? Check out our additional puppy obedience training class that covers basic training commands and socialization activities for puppies older then 4 months old.
