Is this the right class for my puppy?

Puppy Manners is for puppies under 5 months when class begins, or toy breeds under 9 months. The age range is flexible. We also consider your puppy’s size, confidence and maturity. Not sure? Send us a message and we’ll help you choose.

Is your puppy older? Start with Beginning Home Obedience.

Bring the family

Everyone in your family is encouraged to come to every class with your puppy. Very young children, or kids with short attention spans, may find the first-week orientation (a talk and demonstration) hard to sit through.
