Beginner Puppy
This class is designed to lay a solid foundation for your puppy’s basic obedience skills while fostering a strong bond between you and your furry friend.
In addition to obedience training, we focus on instilling good manners in your puppy and provide guidance on essential aspects of puppy care such as toilet training, feeding, and other valuable tips for integrating your new family member seamlessly.
Tailored specifically for young puppies, our classes go beyond mere socialization; they serve as the next step after puppy pre-school. Our aim is to establish a sturdy groundwork for your puppy’s development, preparing them for further training in our Beginner Adult Class.
Please note that puppies must be a minimum of 20 weeks old to join this class. Join us in shaping your puppy’s future and setting them up for success!

Our focus is on empowering you with the knowledge and skills to effectively train your dog. We prioritize enhancing the bond between you and your canine companion, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and positive reinforcement techniques.
Throughout the course, we cover essential commands such as walking on a loose lead and reliable recall, along with other fundamental obedience behaviors including sit, down, stay, wait, come, and heel (please note that this list is not exhaustive and serves as a guideline).
