Puppy Head Start
Give your newest family member the head start in life they deserve. In this Wednesday morning drop-off program, puppies of all breeds — from 8 to 20 weeks old — spend 3 hours learning under the guidance of skilled puppy handlers and Certified Dog Trainers.
Our curriculum focuses on three areas essential to raising a social, well-adjusted adult dog:
- Smart Socialization — Confidence-building play with other puppies, plus early exposure to everyday sights and sounds that commonly cause stress or confusion.
- House Manners — Potty training routines, and gentle correction of nipping, jumping, and barking, along with handling and body familiarity.
- Foundational Obedience — The early safety commands every puppy should know.
Prerequisite: Puppies must have completed their first round of shots and been home for 1–2 weeks with no signs of illness before starting.
Puppy & Me Parenting Class
New puppy? Not sure what to do? This Saturday afternoon class starts your dog off on the right paw. Unlike our drop-off program, parents stay by their puppy’s side and learn right alongside them — you can take this class together with the Puppy Head Start program, or on its own.
Over this 1-hour session, your puppy will build the foundations of good obedience while developing the social skills to grow into a well-mannered dog. Together, you’ll work on:
- Bite Inhibition — Teaching your puppy to play gently and control their mouth.
- Social Skills — Guided play and socialization in a safe, supportive setting.
- Everyday Troubleshooting — Real answers for potty training, mouthing, jumping, and leash struggles.
A must-have for any new puppy owner.
