Puppy Kindergarten & Good Manners
QUICK LINKS TO CLASSES:
- Puppy Kindegarten – puppies 8-16 weeks of age
- Good Manners – dogs over 16 weeks of age*
*If your dog overreacts when on leash around other dogs or people (barks excessively, lunges at, growls, has difficulty focusing on anything else) it may be best to contact us and do a consultation for training before enrolling. Email us at hello@pawsitivelyobedient.com.
It is NORMAL for puppies 4 months and under to begin class without being vaccinated for rabies. We just ask that when your puppy does get vaccinated you email us a copy of their rabies certificate for our records. It is also normal, and recommended, that puppies start class BEFORE finishing their entire vaccination series. Puppies should have at least one distemper/parvo virus vaccination and the bordetella/keenl cough vaccination at least 7 days prior to the start of class. Dogs over 18 weeks of age are typically fully vaccinated. Please email us a copy of their rabies certificate for our records. Dogs should have their distemper/parvo virus vaccination and bordetella/kennel cough vaccination before the start of class.
