Puppy Academy
First Things First
We have 3 introductory options for puppies depending on their age and needs. We understand that puppyhood is a critical time for preventing long term behavior problems so many of our classes allow you to start as soon as you bring your new puppy home.

These classes are for puppies who have completed a basic training course with us or with approval of our trainers.
