PREREQUISITES

Puppies must be between 12 and 16 weeks of age. 

We recommend the first booster vaccination seven days prior to starting class or your veterinarian’s approval to attend. We will send you a link to an orientation video to introduce you to training and to Carolark with your confirmed registration.

WHAT YOU LEARN

We will be working on bite inhibition, nipping, chewing, polite greetings, sit, down, come, and the very important OFF! Over the entire five weeks, your puppy will also have the opportunity to socialize with people and other dogs in a safe, well-controlled environment. 

WHY NOW?

There are specific periods in puppies' lives where good socialization is critical.   We want to ensure that your puppy has good experiences with the new people, places and things they encounter.  Please bring family members to class so the puppies can get used to having little people around too. If your class is not due to start for a while you are welcome to attend and watch the classes without your dog .
