Puppy Class is for puppies up to 6 months of age. Puppies must have proof of vaccinations appropriate for their age, which would include two DHPP vaccines.
Puppy class is a non formal class that covers more than sit, down, stay, but also encompasses socialization, building trust, confidence and building a positive connection to the handler with positive training methods that shape behaviors. Your puppy will learn all foundation exercises to move on to beginners class after puppy graduation.
