This Puppy Basic Life Skills Class is appropriate for puppies from 12 weeks of age to 9 months. What our puppies learn first they learn best, so do not wait to attend classes with your puppy! Here is some information from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviour on when and why you should attend classes with your young dog.  CLICK HERE.

We will cover such foundational skills as teaching name response, sit, down, stay, come when called, leave it, go to bed, polite leash walking, decreasing jumping up, ignoring food on the ground, manners around food, focus around distractions, etc.
