Puppy Kindergarten with Marz Barberio, CPDT-KA

Your goal as a puppy parent is to give your pup the best possible start in life. Puppies learn more between 5 and 16 weeks of age than they will in their entire lifetime! Laying a positive foundation during this time is critical for puppies to grow into behaviorally healthy dogs. This course focuses on proper socialization, bite inhibition, house training, manners, and more!

The class is limited to 12 puppies who are 8 to 16 weeks old when the course begins.

It will be held over 6 weeks, from 2:15–3:15 p.m. on the following dates: February 14, 21, and 28, and March 7, 14, and 21, with no scheduled cancellations unless otherwise specified.
