Bring your pups as soon as they join your household, as young as 8 weeks old. We follow the protocol of the major veterinary universities for puppy class ages and puppy shot requirements, and have a long and successful history of safely bringing very young pups into our group classes.

Feel free to have your veterinarian contact us with any questions.

Basic Manners is a parallel program for older pups and adult dogs.

DeLand and Maitland locations are relatively easy to find using most directional systems or our notes.
