Puppy Club

Puppy class has a focus on socialization, crucial at this age in preventing fear and related problems down the road, as well as helping you trouble shoot common puppy problems (puppy teeth, anyone?!) Puppy Club is offered on a drop-in basis, for dogs 8-16 weeks old, and you can attend as many classes as you want in that time period!

Puppy class is offered at $25 a session. Registration each week IS REQUIRED. Only 5 spots available per class each week.

SUPER Puppy!

Unlike Puppy Club, this is an ongoing 5 week class. This class is for puppies 9-16 weeks old on the first week of class. We will focus on proper socialization, troubleshooting puppy problems, and beginning obedience. Socialization is crucial at this age in preventing fear and related problems down the road so we will practice interacting with other puppies, meeting new people, exploring new objects and surfaces and growing confidence. We will also discuss house training and crate training, play biting and jumping and use positive reinforcement to teach your puppies to sit, down, stand, stay, leave it, walking on leash and come when called. Only people at the first class, no dogs please.

WILD Thing

Do you have a teenage dog who is familiar with the basics (sit, down, stay, come), but still has a lot to learn? Does your dog have little focus or self control? Does she know recall or stay but struggles when there are distractions around? This class will build on this skills your dog learned in Manners class and help her develop the self control necessary to take your training to the next level. You and your teen will be introduced to games that work with rather than against their teenage energy, while building self-control. This class is for dogs 5 months and older, who have completed another Salty Dogs class, or by instructor permission.
Class meets for four weeks. Cost $150
