Puppy Explorer Classes


It is important to bond with your puppy while they are young. This is a class where your puppy will learn to work off leash and follow you through a course full of obstacles and equipment. The goal of this class is to build confidence, body awareness, focus and trust, all while still having fun! This is great for puppies 6 months old and younger.
