Puppy Pre-School
This is a 4 week course designed for puppies between the ages of 8 weeks and 16 weeks. The class is designed to teach your puppy how to feel safe, confident and happy in the world. We will focus on teaching your puppy how to meet strangers, interact with other dogs, approach novel objects and how to get themselves out of a situation they may not be comfortable in without resorting to pulling, barking or lunging. In addition to socialization, we will discuss common puppy issues such as housetraining, barking, mouthing and jumping.

Not sure about how and when to start socializing your puppy? Check out what the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior says about Socialization and Puppy hood.
