Puppy Play 'N Train:
Puppy foundation training is one of the most important things you can do with your pup to make them a well behaved and well-adjusted adult dog. This 6 week class introduces you and your pup to various training methods and commands, how to curb negative behavior such as jumping and mouthing, crate training and housebreaking and how to greet and socialize with dogs and people. It also includes playtime with the other puppies in each class and sometimes the trainer's adult dog for balance. Interested in your puppy achieving the AKC S.T.A.R. certificate? It is just an extra $10! Class is open to puppies who are 5 months and younger at the start of class and have had at least their first round of core vaccines (please note most puppies are too young for rabies so that is not required for this class.)
