Give your puppy the best possible start during this critical socialization period. Designed for puppies 9–14 weeks old, this class combines safe, supervised play with foundational training and plenty of time to answer your questions. Puppies build confidence, practice appropriate social skills, and begin learning the basics, while you gain the knowledge and tools to raise a well-adjusted companion. Topics include socialization, bite inhibition, potty training, crate training, handling, and preventing common behavior problems before they begin.

Start your pup off right in group class with socialization, confidence-building, and essential life skills. We cover house training, play skills, handling, enrichment, and a few important cues to help your puppy grow into a well-mannered companion.

Foundations for a Well-Behaved Adolescent Dog This class is designed for young teen dogs between 8 and 14 months old and focuses on core manners such as sit, down, stay, come when called, leash walking, and polite greetings. We’ll also incorporate some supervised play, so your dog must already have experience playing appropriately with other dogs in a daycare or puppy class setting. If your dog hasn’t had this type of group play experience, please email or text us first—we can help you decide whether this class is the right fit or if our Basic Manners class would be a better starting point.
