have some puppy socialization time, as well as getting your puppy started on basic obedience. Your

they will need the rest of their lives. We will cover sit, down, stand, wait, leave it, off, loose leash
walking, name game, come and various attention games. The focus on this class is to teach the puppy
how to learn and to shape positive behaviors and pinpoint possible future issues, and address them now.
