It has been proven that the first 12-14 weeks of a puppy’s life is the most crucial time for socialization. Positive social experiences during this period of time go a long ways in ensuring your puppy becomes a confident member of your family. A well-socialized pup is a pleasure to take out in public and interact well in a wide variety of circumstances. Therefore, we run our puppy classes geared towards ages 8-12 weeks. All puppies who want to participate in Puppy Basics must have had their 1st distemper/parvo vaccine. To ensure the health of the puppies in our class, all puppies must have their temperature taken before attending class. They also cannot come to class if they have been vomiting or had diarrhea in the last 48 hours. All puppy surfaces are disinfected prior to each class.

Puppy Basics will be a time of playing, experiencing different surfaces, textures, sounds and movement, as well as learning to accept having paws, ears, eyes, mouth, tail and genitalia manipulated to prepare them for veterinary visits and grooming. Our main goal is to make sure that all puppies have a fun and low-stress training experience. We will also discuss training topics, such as potty training, bite inhabition, socialization and more!

Our Open Gym boasts agility equipment, flyball equipment, toys and a place to get energy out while building lasting bonds. Our Gym Membership allows for access to equipment and toys during posted gym hours. This is NOT doggy daycare and the owner must stay with the dog during the entire visit to the gym. Best doggy manners must be utilized at all times while in the gym. Please be considerate of others! Clients will not be authorized a membership until vaccine history is provided and the dog has been assessed by one of our trainers.

Our Online Training Subscription is a monthly subscription that gives you access to a large database of training videos that break down basic commands. Due to liability risk, the videos do not show how to correct behavior issues, and should only be used to train basic obedience to your furry friend. The monthly subscription also entitles you to schedule one-on-one virtual meetings with our trainers to help answer questions or concerns. See our Subscriptions page for membership levels and pricing.

Group obedience classes are not the right environment for all dogs. If you are dealing with behavior issues such as high anxiety, poor social manners or aggression, these behaviors are best resolved in private sessions. Our trainers will come to your home and assess your dog in it’s own environment. The trainer will come up with an individualized training plan specifically suited for your dog. The plan will be adjusted, as needed, to best suit you and your four-legged companion’s needs as you progress through training.
