PUPPY SCHOOL

Our puppy school is all about building a calm, confident, and happy dog – and a strong bond with you.
We focus on real-life skills like loose-leash walking, recall, place training, and impulse control, while teaching you how dogs truly learn and how to set healthy boundaries while still giving freedom.
Instead of chaotic play sessions, your puppy will learn calmness, patience, and focus – even with distractions around. 
By the end, you’ll not only have a well-mannered pup but also the foundation for an stress-free, balanced life together.​
