Puppy Start Right is a group learning opportunity for puppies 8 to 20 weeks of age. The aim of each weekly session is to introduce puppies to new experiences, people and the foundations of training in a positive way. The open-enrollment format of the class allows you to join the group whenever you bring your new pup home or when your schedule allows. Informal, relaxed, fun - be prepared to get involved.

Puppies must be 16 weeks or younger at the time of their first class. Proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP) and a negative fecal test is required before attending the first session.

This class will be instructed by Als Allan.

Designed for dog parents navigating the challenges of adolescence, this course helps address common nuisance behaviors such as jumping on guests, pulling on the leash, and unreliable recall.

Proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP, Rabies) will be required before attending. No aggressive, reactive, or overly fearful dogs. No females in heat.
