PUPPY KINDERGARTEN - Next Session Starts 12/3
Offered at our facility in Snohomish. Designed for puppies 9 to 24 weeks, Kindergarten is a great way to get you and your pup off on the right paw! Based on balanced training methods, our action-packed classes will help you put an obedience foundation on your puppy, plus teach proper social skills and play etiquette. Contests and games, tricks and a puppy agility course round out this interactive class. Each lesson is supplemented with handouts and homework sheets for the week and comes with training supplies for your dog.
PUPPY 201- Next Session Starts 12/3
As a continuation from Puppy Kindergarten we have a fun class with Jessica planned for young dogs. A fast paced group class that allows you to build on basic puppy manners + skills with games, obstacles, and inventive exercises. Each class includes socialization opportunities with peers and adult dogs to help you raise a "can go anywhere" balanced dog!
PUPPY MANNERS - (available by private appointment)
This drop-in session is for dog owners who need help now with those typical puppy growing pains!
A semi-private session keeps training affordable, yet provides each student with the opportunity to share their personal concerns with their individual dog. Classes are student driven.
Jessica will help rebuild basic leadership and manners with your young dog, and show you inventive techniques to end common problems like mouthing, digging, jumping, leash pulling, and the end the game of, “keep away.”
