Our Puppy Socialization Series is to help you help your new puppy to be the best, well-rounded, confident adult dog they can be. We strongly suggest you take all of our puppy classes. We will work on basic manners, how to accept grooming and vet care, improving confidence, and even being proactive in preventing our most commonly seen behavior issue in teen and adult dogs, reactivity.
