Puppy Foundations Group Class
Real-life skills built through trust, play, and choice.
Available spots
Service Description
This class focuses on building trust, communication, and confidence—rather than rushing puppies into obedience skills. Through gentle, game-based learning and guided experiences, puppies learn how to navigate the world calmly while handlers learn how to understand and respond to their puppy’s needs. Classes are intentionally limited to five puppies to ensure individualized support and a low-pressure environment. Puppies are never forced to participate and are always allowed to move at their own pace. Skills such as loose leash walking, recall, and calm behavior are introduced through cooperation, enrichment, and choice—making them easier to carry into everyday life. This program also emphasizes understanding puppy body language, emotional regulation, and healthy social exposure. A guided field trip is included to help puppies practice new skills in a real-world setting with professional support. Why book this class? Because early experiences matter. Puppy Foundations helps prevent common behavior challenges by focusing on confidence and connection first. Guardians leave with practical tools, clearer communication, and a deeper understanding of their puppy—creating a foundation that supports learning long after the class ends. If you’re looking for a kind, modern, force-free puppy program that prioritizes relationship over results, Puppy Foundations: Connection & Confidence offers a meaningful and lasting start.
