Proper socialization is extremely important for puppies under 16 weeks of age. Studies show that positive exposure to puppies, people, handling, novel items and sounds can prevent behavior concerns. Unfortunately, getting your puppy into a socialization class at the right time can be a challenge.

We've created a solution with continuous enrollment

  • Puppies under 16 weeks of age can start class right away, depending on availability

  • Puppies continue attending weekly classes until they reach 16 weeks of age. they are then eligible to sign up for Basic Manners Classes

  • This customized approach ensures that your puppy experiences positive socialization exactly when it's needed
