Puppy Start Right is a fun, hands-on group class designed for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks. Each weekly session focuses on introducing your pup to new experiences, people, and the foundations of training using positive, force-free methods. While social play is included, it’s a small part of the curriculum and only takes place when puppy temperaments are a good match.
Our open-enrollment format means you can start anytime your schedule allows or soon after bringing your puppy home. With a maximum of 5 puppies per class, you’ll receive plenty of individual attention. There’s no minimum enrollment, so if no other puppies are registered, you’ll enjoy the bonus of private instruction at a group rate!
Classes are informal, supportive, and engaging—come ready to learn, laugh, and participate!
*To attend, puppies must be 12 weeks or younger at their first class. We require proof of Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP vaccinations, and a negative fecal test dated within 7 days of the first session. *
