Puppy Pre-School

Puppy Pre-School
4-Week Program | 45-Minute Classes 
Prerequisite: This class is for puppies up to 15 weeks old at the start of the program

Puppy Pre-School is designed for young dogs to develop a strong foundation of confidence, social skills, and early manners. Puppies will learn to engage with you and their environment in positive ways, begin responding to simple cues, and practice polite greetings with people and other dogs. Gentle handling exercises help your puppy become comfortable with touch, grooming, and veterinary visits, while play and structured activities introduce early impulse control and focus. By the end of this class, your puppy will be curious, confident, and ready to continue their learning journey with excitement and enthusiasm.
