Good Start Puppy 2

August 12 – September 30, 2019 (no class on September 2)
Mondays at 7:45 p.m.

Instructor: Alisha Fritz

Designed for older puppies who are 16-24 weeks old at the start of class. This class combines training, socialization and most importantly, fun! We will build on the puppy’s socialization with people and other dogs while introducing important manners and skills. We will also spend time on exercises to help prevent common behavior challenges.

Playtime between age-appropriate and size-appropriate puppies will be part of the curriculum when possible. You and your dog may make life-long friends! The first class is for humans only.

All puppies must be 16-24 weeks old and current on vaccinations. Spaying or neutering strongly recommend.

Seven-week, one-hour class in School For Dogs, located at the back of Smoky’s Training Center.
