Puppy Kindergarten

FinianThe first 16 weeks of a puppy's life are critical. During this time, he learns how to deal with the world, and builds a foundation for his future as your family companion. Puppyhood is the BEST time to prevent aggression and fear problems later in life. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to safely socialize your puppy until after he has received all his vaccinations.

 

Pawsitive Results Puppy Kindergarten addresses these very concerns. A true puppy kindergarten class doesn't teach lots of obedience exercises. Instead, it teaches your puppy that the world is a friendly, safe place  -- and it teaches puppy owners how to properly deal with common puppy challenges.
