COVID REQUIREMENTS: Masks are required and two adults per dog may attend lessons. We are minimizing Covid risks to staff and students by following sanitizing protocols, mask requirements, distancing guidelines, and working in larger open areas versus travelling from home to home during this difficult time.

Puppy Best Start Program

These 45 minute lessons are ideal for first-time puppy parents, high-energy or easily distracted puppies, shy or nervous puppies, and puppy parents who want one-on-one instruction minus the distractions of a group class.

For puppies 8 weeks - 6 months old. Our Puppy Best Start Program is designed to get you and your puppy prepared for a lifetime of adventures together.

We help you set up for success by addressing all the home routine pitfalls new puppy parents should avoid to prevent problem behaviors from starting to begin with.

These 45 minute lessons include: meeting socialization needs during Covid, building confidence and manners, loose leash walking, come/recall, sit, down, stay, settle on bed, hand target, stand for vet visits, cooperative handling (nails, brushing, ears, teeth), crate/containment training, preventing nipping and jumping, etc.
