PUPPY POWER UP COURSE

This is a 4 week course for potential puppy owners or new puppy owners. The four classes will be without puppies. If you don’t have a puppy yet you will still get a lot of great information to use when your new pup comes home.

The class will be taught by Sue Conklin The Puppy Nanny. Sue has been training puppies and teaching puppy owners for over 20 years. While she works with dogs of all ages, she knows that starting a puppy off on the right paw can make a world of difference in the life of that puppy and the humans who live with her. In this course, you will have an opportunity to have all of your puppy questions answered.  

Classes Start Tuesday January 12th at 6:00 PM

Cost - $100
