for pups 10 weeks thru 4 months
As a group, this course is open enrollment which means you don't have to wait for classes to start on a certain date. Every day is a learning experience for your puppy so we feel it is important that you start your young canine friend when you want. If by chance you miss a week, don't worry. You can make it up any time as long as your pup has completed the course by 5 months old. When you enroll you pup in classes at a young age, you will be surprised at how fast he learns.
We encourage
the whole
family to
attend and participate.
