Our Classes

6 weeks

Give your puppy the best possible start with our AKC STAR Puppy class—a six-week program designed to turn chaos into confidence. In weekly one-hour sessions, we'll guide you through the basics every puppy needs, including sit, down, stay, recall, settling, and loose leash walking. We also tackle real-life puppy struggles like potty training, chewing, handling, and nail trims—so you feel prepared at home, not just in class. Your puppy will also get valuable, structured socialization time to build confidence and learn appropriate behavior around other dogs and people. At the end of the course, your puppy can be evaluated for the AKC STAR Puppy certification—setting the stage for future training, including advanced obedience or dog sports.
