Our Puppy Preschool helps your puppy:
- Learn focus and attention through consistent obedience training
- Develop leash manners and calm walking skills
- Build confidence through positive socialization experiences
- Prevent fear, anxiety, and reactivity
- Strengthen trust and communication between you and your dog
