If you are a new client, you will need to complete an initial consultation before using this service.

For current clients: you have either attended group classes, completed at least one private session, or your dog has been to puppy preschool. The location of the outing will depend on the age of your puppy.

These appointments provide both enrichment and training, and round out your socialization plan. A certified trainer will pick your puppy up from your home and take them on an outing to practice skills (e.g., attention, settling on a mat, leash walking skills) in an environment with distractions.
