We all want a puppy who will grow into a well-balanced, well-adjusted, happy adult dog. This doesn't happen automatically. It's up to you to start your puppy off right by teaching the behaviors you desire and helping your puppy navigate life along the way. We will teach you how to do just that!
Your puppy will experience positive, safe, and fun socialization, and get to enjoy playtime with other puppies, as well. Along with the puppy basics, your puppy will learn polite greetings, coming when called, positive handling, relaxation, impulse control, loose-leash walking, and we'll address those unwanted puppy behaviors!
Puppies do not join us for the first class, which is orientation.
For puppies up to five months at start of class.

PLAY AND TRAIN
We all want a well-trained dog, but we don't always have the time to attend class. We're here to help!
Your dog must already be boarding or attending daycare at 4-Legged Friends Pet Lodging and Daycare.
While attending daycare, your dog will come out of group play and receive one hour of one-on-one customized training and enrichment.
If your dog is boarding with the Lone Wolf option, this is a great time for some refresher or customized training.
Our one-on-one sessions include videos and details of your dog's training so that you can continue to reinforce your dog's new skills at home. $100 per one-hour session.
In-person follow-up "transfer" session is available. $100 per one-hour session.
