* Drop-Off Program

During these classes we will focus on people, dog, and handling socialization. Your pups will learn to become more comfortable around different types of people and dogs. We will discuss the types of appropriate and inappropriate play and how to interrupt inappropriate play. We will also be teaching your pup to be comfortable being handled and groomed. 

We find that it is just as critical to teach your dog how to live in your world, but it's also important to understand how your dog experiences the environment around them.
