Paws4training Puppy Training Program

The best time to train a puppy is now. Don’t wait. Our puppy training program let's you start right away. Simply choose the class day and time you prefer, and then get training!

This is the age when puppies are most responsive to new experiences, and soak up learning like furry little sponges. It’s the perfect time to begin class!

The most important class your puppy will ever take…
Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy Kindergarten lets your pup meet other puppies and new people. This helps him learn to be gentle with his mouth and to play nicely with others. We’ll also help you teach your puppy basic obedience skills, so he develops into the well-trained adult dog you’ve always wanted.

Puppy Kindergarten helps prevent puppy problems before they start:

Your puppy will meet other puppies and new people so that he learns how to behave politely in the real world.

No more torn clothing and puppy bites on your skin. Your puppy will learn to be gentle with his mouth and to keep his sharp little teeth to himself.

Save your furniture, your friends, and your sanity! Your puppy will learn potty training, how to greet your houseguests politely and not to chew up the house.

Make your puppy’s visits to the vet and the groomer more pleasant for everyone. Practice handling exercises for nail trimming, grooming, and medical exams.

For puppies 8 -16 weeks of age (20 weeks for smaller breeds)

Keep Up The Good Work
Puppy Middle School
Dogs are teenagers too! Now is the time when your puppy will test his boundaries and maybe even push your buttons. This class, for active adolescents, is a bridge between Puppy Kindergarten and adult dog training classes. Keep up the good work you did in Puppy Kindergarten by moving right into Puppy Middle School. This class will help to improve your puppy’s focus on you so that he can perform commands readily even during play time! Your puppy will learn to come when called from a distance, how to greet people and dogs properly, and go to his place on cue. Instead of an out-of-control teenager, your pup will behave politely in order to get the things he wants. Now that makes your life a whole lot easier! Your puppy will burn off all that extra energy from play time!

More Information
Most Seattle veterinarians recommend starting puppy classes as early as 8-10 weeks of age. However, it is not safe to take your puppy to parks and dog parks before they are fully vaccinated. To keep your puppy healthy, we ask that you do not take him to the dog park while enrolled in our Socialization Classes. For more information about socializing your puppy, read Dr. R.K. Anderson's letter (link above)
