Puppy Elementary

For puppies between 2 - 4 months

Puppy Elementary School is all about learning how to safely & properly socialize your puppy to other puppies, people, and all manner of things that dogs tend to find scary or overly exciting. We’ll also focus on problem prevention and a little foundation obedience behaviours like recall & leash manners. It’s also great for taking cute pictures and videos you can post to your Instagram ;)
Socialization will make the biggest impact on your puppy in the first 3 to 4 months of their life, so don’t wait to enroll in class.
