Puppy Kindergarten is an important part of socialization and helping your new family member gain confidence and learn new skills. Training your dog early, and including everyone in the family, is a key component in bringing out the best in your best friend.
We offer a number of puppy training classes, plus a webinar for new or soon-to-be puppy parents.
Children are allowed to attend Puppy Kindergarten, as long they're accompanied by an adult.
Looking for Puppy Playgroups?
Puppy playgroups give your puppy the chance to socialize and play with other puppies in their size and age category. They take place each week at our Golden Valley location.
All About Puppies Webinar
This webinar takes new or soon-to-be puppy parents through puppy development, explaining what to expect at each stage. Topics include puppy play, enrichment, and preventing unwanted behaviors, like mouthing and jumping.
The content of the webinar complements information in our in-person group puppy classes and provides a great start for anyone who has recently brought a puppy home or is considering doing so.
We recommend watching this webinar prior to Puppy Kindergarten or Puppy Playgroups.
