Puppy Privates
Our Puppy Privates program is far more than your typical puppy class. Training is conducted in the convenience of your home and on your schedule with a focus on helping you raise your puppy with as little stress as possible! We teach you how to address typical puppy issues like crate training, house breaking, mouthing, and jumping. How to avoid having your puppy develop unwanted behaviours such as excessive barking, digging and chewing. We will also introduce your puppy to basic commands like sit, down, and come. Your puppy will learn to accept general handling for vet visits and grooming, and we provide you with a comprehensive plan for successful socialization. With our Puppy Privates you get access to our Puppy Social & Enrichment class which will play a key role in socializing your new family member!
