Puppy Socialization Classes

For Puppies 8-18 weeks

Puppy parents will join us for hands on training with our team, while their puppies learn how to play and socialize appropriately, with older teaching dogs acting as role models.

Your dog MUST be under 14 weeks for your first scheduled class, and no older than 18 weeks for your last scheduled class! (Certain exceptions can be made. Please see our FAQ for details.)

Our socialization and training classes are veterinarian recommended and approved!
