Puppy Kindergarten

Puppy kindergarten Classes

Getting a new puppy is exciting! But it can also come with feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. That’s where I come in :)I believe that dogs thrive when they are provided with a supportive environment and clear communication.

Those early days are prime for building a lasting bond that will influence your dog’s behavior and overall quality of life. To me, training is simply skill building and teaching your dog the language that you two will use to communicate. 

After identifying your dog’s natural abilities and inclinations, we create a routine and skill building program that will help your dog thrive.

At Zoomies & Zen, the focus is always on strengthening your bond with your dog.
