PuppyGarten
Puppy 1
Our PuppyGarten 1 is the pre-school for puppies. PuppyGarten 1 is specifically designed to provide your 8-14 week old puppy the enrichment and socialization he/she requires with other puppies. Enrichment means exposure to novel objects, noises, textures, sounds, etc. in combination with healthy play and introduction to learn basic behaviors.
PuppyGarten 1 prepares you and your puppy for the real world. Our focus is helping the puppy develop his/her brain to explore the new world with various activities such as playing in a ball pit, running through a tunnel, balancing on a wobble board and so much more. We will discuss the challenging puppy behaviors such as mouthing, jumping up, potty training and body handling. We use the least invasive and force-free training methods available to us to help create a safe environment for your puppy and to make training a lot of fun.
Behaviors we cover:
-
manners: not jumping up, calming down, drop & leave it
-
specialty behaviors (veterinary handling, grooming, medical equipment, obstacles, house and crate training)
-
social skills (during play)
-
other typical puppy behaviors
-
for our shy dogs, growing confidence in a new environment
Enroll when you get your puppy. We will ensure everything is covered in 5 classes. Each class is an individual class focusing on basic obedience and preparing your puppy for life. If the course has already begun, please reach out to let us know you would like to be added. We are happy to accommodate you if we can.

Because this is for young puppies, we will have an "age out" process to make room for continuous younger puppies.
First timers, to book your spot, click the appropriate booking button below based on the breed size of your puppy. If there are not spots available, please click the waitlist button below to be added for when a spot opens up.
