Auntie Dog will direct your puppy’s energy in a positive direction. You and your pup will be introduced to a series of focus and attention exercises that will prepare both of you for his adult life. Good manners and socialization are just the beginning. Weekly Q & A sessions discuss housebreaking, mouthing, the “pup-kid relationship” and much more. We promote open discussions dealing with all puppy health and training challenges.

Class size is small so that you and your pup have direct interaction and hands on training with your AKC Certified S.T.A.R. Puppy instructor. At the conclusion of your five-week program, you will be invited to a sixth class to review your pup’s skills and to take the AKC S.T.A.R. Pup certification test.

Private Puppy Prep School is offered for owners that prefer one-on-one instruction or who wish to involve their family in Pup’s training.   Puppy Prep School may also be taken as a bridge program through obedience for the older (up to 6 months of age) or more advanced pup.

The Studio environment is safe, clean and inviting for our small puppy friends. The Puppy programs get you started in the right direction so that you and your family will raise a happy, healthy and well-mannered dog. All Puppy graduates are welcomed into our Obedience program at 6 months of age. As S.T.A.R. Pups they are paws down the vala-dog-torians of Obedience group!
