Raise Your Puppy Right

Training your puppy is important, but building a strong relationship with them is even more crucial. 

Your pup might not follow cues and requests due to confusion or lack of motivation. Dogs communicate through body language, not words. Understanding their language and their needs is the key to effective training.

A solid relationship built on trust, communication, and consistency can transform your lively puppy into a well-behaved dog who eagerly follows your guidance!

In our class, you will work with 2 certified trainers on:

  • Fine-tuning communication

  • Reading dog body language

  • Building trust and respect

  • Engaging and motivating your puppy


You'll learn important cues plus:

  • Focus and attention skills

  • Grooming and vet care tips

  • Happy home habits

  • Polite greetings

  • Practical sleep solutions

  • Successful separation strategies

  • Loose leash walking

  • Socialization skills

  • Solid recall

  • Enrichment ideas (Breed Specific)

We'll also address common puppy issues like mouthiness, potty training, chewing, and barking.

Sign up today and transform your wild pup into a well-mannered dog who brings joy to your life!

Puppy Play Sessions at Growlerz

Over 40 pounds 9:00-10:00 AM
Under 40 pounds 10:15-11:15 AM

I am currently offering puppy socialization classes at Growlerz Seattle dog play-park in Columbia City every Sunday.

The first few months of our puppies' lives are a blueprint for their adulthood behaviors. Exposure to other puppies, people, environments, unfamiliar objects, and textures helps to set up your pup for calm reactions to new experiences in the future! Your puppy will learn bite inhibition, social manners, attention games, the benefits of relaxation, and dog communication skills. I will monitor puppy play and introduce you to tips and games that help to strengthen your bond with your dog and increase the quality of communication you have with your beloved friend. Bring your puppy in to learn and grow in this safe, supervised environment!

'“This class was the most pivotal in our journey with Jax through his puppy months. You have helped us so much with socializing Jax appropriately and safely. But most of all, thank you for teaching us how best to communicate, respond to, and understand Jax so that he also will have a more fulfilling life.”

-Renée, Andrea and Jax
