Same curriculum, divided by developmental age:

Puppy Preschool - under 4 1/2 months of age
Puppy Kindergarten - under 6 months of age

Which class should I choose?

If your dog has not attended a prior training class, you will choose the entry level class that best meets your dog's age at the beginning date of the class session. Entry level classes will cover how to teach reliable verbal cues and hand signals. Your dog will learn to sit, down, stand, stay and leave-it, plus attention, loose leash walking, polite greeting manners and come when called, all while working with distractions. Time will be spent in each class to answer questions about behavior problems and socialization concerns as well as safe handling and basic manners, plus a few fun tricks, all taught using positive force-free methods.


Intermediate Level: (stage two - when you've completed any stage one class)
