Learning for All Ages & Stages
- Let's face it - bring a dog parent can be challenging. One moment they are sleeping on the sofa in Insta perfect poses, the next they are bolting out the door to greet the Amazon driver and stealing the kids PB&J right off their plates. This is why our Pet Education Center is here - it's one thing to read a how to on the internet or watch a door bolting video and a whole other thing to in person coaching. We're here for all your dog's life stages with classes, private training, and fun sport activities that tire them out while you both have fun!
- Puppy Prep Academy: For puppies 6-16 weeks of age at their first class. This course incorporates off lead puppy play and focuses on many common behavior challenges present at this age such as housetraining, chewing, stealing, and mouthing. Due to the target age for this class there is a heavy focus on socialization to novel people, pets and objects. Level 1 includes a video review of clicker mechanics, treatbag, treats and a book on body language. Cost is $150 and this class is open enrollment so you can start whenever you bring your new best friend home!

- AKC Star Puppy: For puppies over 16 weeks and under 1 year of age. This course focuses on loose leash walking, sit, down and other manners for the modern dog.
