About Our School
Our puppy school aims to encourage puppies and their people to have fun while learning basic manners. Puppies are able to come to class from around 10 weeks until they age out at about 4 months of age, depending on size and temperament. There is plenty of time in each class for discussion and troubleshooting specific issues people are having with their puppy.
