Puppy preschool is for puppies 8 – 12 weeks old.

Puppy Preschool is a socialization experience for puppies 8-12 weeks old. Puppies are allowed to interact off leash with a variety of other puppies and people, while we discuss the importance of this critical developmental and socialization period. In addition, we will talk about the challenges new puppy owners face when dealing with play biting, as well as crate and potty training. You don’t want to miss out on this important first step in your puppy’s life-long learning carrier, so register online today!

Between 9 – 11 weeks of age is a very sensitive period for puppies.

The next step towards attending group classes is to attend an Orientation. This prerequisite two hour session will provide the information necessary to prepare you for group classes. We will discuss training terms and equipment, dog behavior and socialization, and class structure so that you are able to jump into classes right away. You will receive a packet with the Misty Pines Training Manual as well as other informational materials. Orientations are offered once a month on Wednesday evenings from 7 – 9pm.
