Puppy Training Group Class
Jumpstart your puppy’s training!
Dogs Abound’s Puppy Training Group Class is an excellent way to learn the basics of dog training to help you and your puppy get set up for a lifetime of success. Learn with other puppy owners in our rolling class structure. Each week covers a different topic. Classes do not have to be taken in any particular order (jump in anytime!) and we encourage folks to take the same class twice to expand on and practice skills that are especially important to your family. For example, you may work on putting on a collar and leash nicely in your first “Handling” class, and then work on calm nail trims and brushing if you take “Handling” again.
