Puppy Starter Skills Training in Fredericton, Oromocto & Beyond

Puppy Starter Skills: A Confident Beginning, One Woof At A Time!

(For Puppies aged 9 – 20 weeks on the first day of class)

Congratulations on bringing your new puppy home!

Puppies are cute, playful, sometimes a biting machine, and occasionally a little challenging! But with the proper guidance, you can set them up for lifelong success.

Let us help you get your puppy off to a great start!

In this course, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to raise a healthy, confident, and behaviorally sound puppy.

We go far beyond sit, down, and stay to help you talk dog. Imagine finally understanding what your puppy is trying to tell you, why they act the way they do, and how to respond in a way that actually makes sense to them.

The result: Fewer misunderstandings, less frustration, and more moments where your puppy listens, cooperates, and truly connects with you—turning everyday challenges into wins you can celebrate together.

Your investment is $200 (plus HST). In this 6-week, 50-minute class, your puppy will learn the foundational skills to set him or her up for success:
