Welcome to the
AfterSchool Program!

Experience the benefits of a well-socialized, Pawsitively Trained puppy!

Use your Client Portal to book your session. Located under "New Group Training Reservation".

We are excited to introduce our AfterSchool Program! Drop off your puppy with the Trainer and a group of their favorite dog friends.

Are you confused, worried, even paralyzed, by the thought of properly socializing your puppy?

Leave it to the professionals! We understand what puppy paralysis feels like - we've been there! That's why we have created our tailored AfterSchool Program to match the developmental needs of puppies to provide them with a catered socialization plan. We want to help you achieve your training goals and truly enjoy your dog for many years to come.

Are you looking at your furry "wild child" and wondering where that sweet, sleepy puppy went?

As puppies get older, their temperament begins to shift, develop, and grow. We want to make sure we are adjusting our program to meet the needs of every pup and prevent practicing problem behaviors from the beginning. The AfterSchool program teaches appropriate play skills, while also promoting calmness, relaxation, and good manners. So many puppy owners wait until their dog is a "naughty teenager" before realizing how crucial a well-timed socialization program really was. Don't wait!

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your new puppy addition?

Let's make life with your dog easy, peaceful, and pleasant. Starting your puppy in a high quality training program will prevent head aches, heart aches, and save you thousands of dollars throughout the lifetime of your dog. Start now and prevent problems in the future.

In these sessions, we will address:

Jumping for greeting
Potty training
Puppy biting behavior
Adding basic obedience skills (sit/eye contact/down/etc)
Teaching a reliable "Come" cue
Creating polite behavior while you are busy cooking, cleaning, eating, working, watching TV, etc.
Encouraging appropriate and safe social behavior with new people and dogs
Interacting with novel objects, textures, environments, etc.
Teaching polite play skills with people and dogs
Preventing problem behaviors
And so much more!

These sessions are available as a supplement to a Group or Private Training Program, for existing clients only.

There are 2 age groups available.

Puppies 3-6 months old: 2 hour session: 2nd set of DHPP required
Puppies 6-9 months old: 1 hour session: all DHPP and Rabies required
