Our puppy classes lay the foundation for your
pup to become a great adult dog who will be
welcomed by your family, friends and
community. We provide a safe environment for
your puppies to learn skills necessary for safe
socialization with people and other puppies. In
our structured classes we will teach you how to
handle puppy training issues including house
training, chewing, jumping and biting. We also
cover basic obedience skills such as sit, down,
stand, walking politely on leash, coming when
called and how to settle down your puppy.
Upon completion of one of our puppy training
classes your puppy is eligible for the AKC S.T.A.R.
Puppy Program. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training is a
natural lead in to the AKC® Canine Good
