Train Them Young:
Puppy Class is for puppies 10 weeks to 6 months of age. (Exceptions may be made for small breeds but generally after six months they belong in the Basic Obedience Class.) In a perfect world, pups would start at 10-12 weeks old, with veterinary approval.
This seven week course focuses on socialization and basic obedience commands which lay the foundation for your pup to grow into a happy and well-behaved dog. It’s also just a lot of fun! There will be short discussions on behavior issues but in-depth assistance is done through private training. Please click this link for info on private training.
