Puppy Socialization

Your puppy's socialization window is a critical time where long-term learning takes place. It's important to utilize this time to set your puppy up for success.


Our fear-free, positive reinforcement classes are designed to ensure you & your puppy can build a trusting relationship & establish strong foundations for continued learning -- from basic life skills to advanced agility it all starts here.

Key concepts we will cover:

  • Understanding dog body language

  • Cooperative care & handling

  • Puppy Manners

  • Fear prevention & confidence building

  • Enrichment & what that means to your dog

Learning happens everywhere,

which is why this program includes an online portal to ensure you’re equipped to continue learning outside of class -- reference class notes, listen to lesson recordings, & check out video resources.
