Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy Kindergarten is for puppies 8-16 weeks. Studies have shown that between 8-16 weeks (a critical learning and social period), your pup should be exposed to as many positive experiences as possible. We focus on providing opportunities for puppies to develop social skills and manners with both dogs and people. Puppy k covers sit, down, stand, stay, come, off, leave-it, take-it,and leash etiquette. Other common management issues also covered housebreaking, biting, chewing, jumping, handling and barking. The AKC S.T.A.R. certification is included. For more information on the S.T.A.R. test visit akc.org
