Puppies: 8 Weeks to 6 Months

Your puppy’s socialization window starts to close at the tender young age of 16 weeks! There are several important milestones that your pup must meet before that age including house training, crate training, bite inhibition, socialization and much more! Let us help! We offer several programs for pups under 16 weeks old. Join us twice a week at Puppy Party and Puppy Kindergarten or Elementary. We can’t wait to meet your pup!

Please read our Class Guidelines before registering for any class. The Guidelines include information about our training methods and policies for vaccinations, refunds, cancellations, make-up sessions if you miss a class, and more.
