Puppy Skills
Our puppy skills lesson is an informational lesson where you will meet with one of our trainers to discuss how to teach your new puppy proper crate training, potty training, nipping prevention, and proper play and exercise.
As one on one lessons each puppy and their owners are the main focuses of the trainer’s time. We encourage puppy parents to ask all of their questions during the lesson and want everyone to feel as comfortable and excited as possible
We recommend enrolling your puppy in one of our puppy skills lessons then following up with our standard private lessons or Day School program. Is your puppy already a pro at potty training, crate training, etc.? Go straight to our standard lesson!
