Have a fuzzy bundle of fur and energy on your hands? If so, our New Puppy Socialization Class is for you! This 4-week class caters specifically to pups 10 weeks through 5 months of age. It focuses on puppy play (socialization) time, proper puppy body language, learning how to safely socialize your pup, managing common puppy behaviors, calming and focus techniques, and a few basic obedience skills.

This class is designed to work with puppies' short attention spans and allows for play breaks and down time. Each hour-long class includes a discussion on topics such as nipping/biting, potty training, crate training, controlled play, and more.

This is a great class for first-time puppy owners and as a refresher for experienced owners.

We are thrilled to announce our brand new Older Puppy Socialization Class!

Do you have a lively, fuzzy puppy aged 5-12 months? If so, our Older Puppy Socialization Class is perfect for you! This 4-week course is tailored specifically for older puppies ready to begin obedience training while still needing off-leash socialization. The class covers basic obedience, loose leash walking, understanding puppy body language, safe socialization practices, managing common behaviors, calming and focus techniques, and a few essential obedience skills.

Designed to accommodate the short attention spans of both puppies and their humans, each hour-long session includes play breaks and downtime. We’ll also discuss important topics like nipping/biting, potty training, crate training, controlled play, and more.

This class is ideal for first-time puppy owners, those continuing from our New Puppy Socialization class, or experienced owners looking for a refresher.

If you are interested in training two or more dogs, whether they are litter mates or just house mates, please sign them up individually. We recommend attending individually rather than in the same class to build confidence independently and to learn to rely on you instead of their pack mate/s.

PLEASE NOTE: PROOF OF THE FOLLOWING VACCINES MUST BE RECEIVED 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE START OF CLASS (Please have your vet's office email them to speak2us@2speakdog.com) :
