NEW! Manners Classes
6 week Classes Starting Friday 9/20/24 at Stadium Plaza

5:30 PM – Puppy Foundations
Our Puppy Foundations class is built to start you off on the right paw with positive reinforcement training for you and your puppy. We’ll cover all the hot topics of puppyhood: socialization, potty training, nipping, basic obedience, engagement, cooperative handling, and more. Through the use of pattern games, confidence building, and management, you’ll learn to cultivate a happy, fulfilled, and trained pup! This class is for puppies between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks.

6:30 – Adult Basic Manners
At our Adult Basic Manners class, we’ve developed a blend of traditional obedience skills and BlueDog curated curriculum items! For those who have some basic skills down, we’ve got plenty of ways to further develop and challenge foundational skills. If you’ve yet to start your training journey, we’ll give you the basics and set you and your dog up for success! Learn about sit, down, wait, loose leash walking, pattern games, and so much more at our Adult Basic Manners class. This class is for pups over 20 weeks old.
