AKC Star Puppy Kindergarten

Puppies have a lot to learn about their roles as family pets and man’s best friends. This class helps a puppy put theirbest paw forward. It covers house training, not mouthing, sit, down, coming when called, stay, loose-leash walking and much more. Most importantly, we work with you and your dog to establish a trusting relationship that serves as an important foundation for future training and a happy life together.

Puppy graduates of the class can take a photo in a “cap and gown.” Owners can also opt for their puppies to take the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test, which ensures that your dog is being raised with socialization and safety in mind. This is a very popular program which was added due to client demand!

Courteous Canine, Inc. is offering Enroll and Go for AKC Star Puppy Kindergarten group classes. This means clients choose a day and time that works for them, enroll and can IMMEDIATELY start in the class. All students in the class will be working at their own level simultaneously.

Courteous Canine dog training has been great for us. We have done classes up at their venue including puppy kindergarten and “reliable recall” – we have also done private training up there, as well as in home. The trainers are so good teaching positive reinforcement training techniques instead of shock collars and choke chains. They always follow up with emails and answer email questions as they come up. They LOVE dogs and want them and their people to be happy and safe. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog training.

my dog, millie, always has a blast at class! we did the puppy kindergarten, puppy play dates, and a private dock diving lesson, and all were lots of fun! while we would love to do dock diving again, she has taken an interest in agility equipment so we might have to sign up for an agility class too! i love that they offer so many wonderful classes so that there is always something new to try! and to top it all off, they are positive reinforcement based so no aversive tools are used which really helps build that bond/trust between you and your dog!

I was looking for training for my older German Shepherd puppy. We did the private, in-home lessons. The process to get information about what options were best for us and our puppy was so easy and smooth. The staff was so great and communicative. We had our in-home lessons with Brooke and she is simply AMAZING! Not only did she give guidance on how to best train Brutus on the areas that were the most important to us, she taught me and my family how to best work with Brutus so we can be the most effective outside of the training sessions. It was 100% worth it.
