Puppy Classes
We are well-known across the dog industry for our awesome puppy classes!
Want to have some fun with your pup, while being introduced to basic manners and establishing a relationship with a pro trainer who can spot and help resolve or prevent the most common behavior problems?
We’ve got you
(This page is for the babies. Puppies turn into adolescents at 5-months-old.
Got an adolescent or older dog? go here.)
**Our puppy classes often sell out. Book your spot as soon as you’re ready.
Puppy Kindergarten
The essential class for all puppies aged 10 weeks to 4.5 months!
Puppy Kindergarten is the place to learn everything you need to know to lay a solid foundation for a healthy, happy pup! We cover all of the basics (house training, puppy nipping, socialization, core cues, and dealing with behaviors problems). In addition, it’s an awesome support network of local puppy people, and a riot of laughs to hang out with a little gaggle of wagging puppies!
“My puppy’s confidence grew so much by taking her to AGDT’s puppy socialization and puppy kindergarten classes!”
— Christina D.
Puppy Level 2
This class is for graduates of Puppy Kindergarten at AGDT. The next step, as your pup rounds the bend into adolescence is to continue to strengthen their skills, and your relationship, by practicing training games in increasingly challenging scenarios.
We’ll work on things that often stump dog lovers, like getting your pup to respond to you on distracting walks, or during play time with friends. We’ll also improve our leash skills through games and communication. And, of course, we’ll continue to answer your questions and support your journey with your dog.
(If you took a kindergarten class at another school, give us a call so we can get you placed in the best class for you and your dog 540-327-3288)
“Our sessions are definitely equal parts human therapy and dog training - which is so important.”
— Dawn N.
Fun With Puppies & Agility
Is your puppy ready to learn, explore, and have a blast with you? Puppy Agility is the perfect way to strengthen your bond while giving your pup the mental and physical exercise they crave. This exciting 1-hour session is packed with fun activities that teach your puppy how to confidently navigate agility equipment like tunnels, balance beams, jumps, and more!
We keep everything low and safe for growing pups, making sure they have a fun, stress-free experience while developing important skills.
