These six 45 minute sessions include 30 minutes of learning and 10-15 minutes of puppy play. Appropriate for puppies up to 6 months old. Pre-register and attend orientation then start right away with our rolling / open enrollment program! Each session is an independent lesson and sessions do not need to be taken in order; sessions are offered on a rotating curriculum.
This class will guide you through your puppy’s critical socialization period to prepare them for the life they will be living with you. Socialization means creating positive associations with the things your puppy will be encountering in your daily lives. This class will help you prevent fear and help your puppy adjust to life within our human world.
Each session will cover one puppy topic, one socialization topic, enrichment, and 15 minutes of supervised play to help develop appropriate social skills.
