The Dog School Puppy Program

Who is it for?

• Puppies aged 8-20 weeks

• All levels of dog owners

Here’s what you can expect:

• 6 expertly designed, open-enrollment classes

• Thoughtful and experienced instructors guide and support you and your puppy through this critical (and often challenging!) developmental stage

• Learn skills to survive puppyhood and develop the foundation for a healthy, happy partnership.

• Access to our Puppy Socials which are expertly supervised and a space for safe play for this age group

What is Open-Enrollment?

Open-Enrollment means Start Anytime! You start right away and enjoy flexible booking!

• No wait for the next “start date” or sticking to a weekly time slot!

• Simply sign up and book yourself into the classes that best suit your schedule and change it as often as you need. Start as early as tomorrow.

• No more missed classes! Classes may be rescheduled any time and if you need more practice in a skill, go ahead and join it again.

Who teaches puppy classes?

• Our curriculum is designed and taught by Dr. Sarah Shapiro-Ward & Katrina Per-Carruthers, experts in the field of animal training with a combined experience of 20+ years. Read more about their qualifications here

What is the Badge Program?

• Our unique and fun Badge Program helps you meet real-life training goals that matter to you, so you can feel confident and empowered in your dog’s progress.

• Badges are earned by demonstrating specific training skills.

• After the puppy program, join us for Key Skills classes where we build on the skills you’ve learned and ensure you and your dog are set up for success.
