Rolling enrollment (start when you are ready)

*This class is for puppies 8-16 weeks (puppies cannot attend past 16 weeks of age)

Puppies ages 8-16 weeks are in the prime developmental period for positive exposure to new people, places and things. Come join us with your puppy to learn:

  • simple manners

  • tackle common puppy issues/challenges

  • fun off leash playtime for socialization (when appropriate)

Our curriculum includes items in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program, which is designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start.

Puppies only need to have their first round of distemper/parvo vaccines at least 7 days before the first class to join this group class.

Trainer for this class is Kathy Forthman, MS, CPDT-KA
