Teach your pup how to pay attention , walk nicely on a leash, come when called and be polite when meetng new people! Start with an Orientation class (for humans only) and jump right into Puppy Kindergarten clases. Class is Open Enrollment so that you can start at any time and won't miss a beat! Course includes Orientation and six classes. Prerequisite: Pups should be between 8 and 16 weeks of age at the start of class and have had 2 DHPP shots to participate.

Basic Manners Classes

"We all learned so much. This is our first puppy and class was a great experience. I didn't think I'd be 'into' a class, but I really thought it was great! Thank you for making this an enjoyable, learning experience!" (Manny's parents.)

"We're really glad we came. We thought "training" would turn our dog into a robot and he'd lose his personality, but it has only enhanced it. Thank you!" (Cooper's parents.)

"I can't thank you enough for all you've done in helping my husband and I with our new puppy Charlie. Your informative, hands on training classes have helped structure our puppy into becoming a wonderful and obedient dog.
We have both seen the challenges caused by un-trained dogs, because of Pooch Pawsitive we however are rest assured that our puppy no longer falls into that category.
When Charlie is with us in public, we are continuously praised by other dog owners as to the perfect behavior of our puppy around other dogs and people.
We now can see that Charlie is going to be a very sociable dog with great obedience and attentive skills.
Thank you again for Pooch Pawsitive! "
