Puppy Classes

Our Puppy Classes

Dog trainers know that the most important thing to work on with your puppy is socialization and exposure. Thoughtfully and considerately showing your puppy all the things you want them to be happy and confident around when they get older is one of the biggest priorities when you bring a new puppy home. At Busy Dog, our Puppy Skills classes work a LOT on socialization and exposure. We go beyond puppy play groups (we do that, too!) and show the puppies things like grooming tools, different surfaces to stand on, things to eat out of, sounds and smells, etc. Let us help you teach your dog how to be that go everywhere, do everything dog you want to share your life with! 

We don’t only work on socialization and exposure, either. Our classes will help your puppy learn how to give you excellent attention and focus and basic obedience cues. Work on polite greetings, dropping items they shouldn’t have, cooperative care, how to settle and more! 

Our classes are taught in several locations to held you find an option that works best for you!

– on the north side of Madison at Dog Dog Daycare. 

– in Stoughton at Pups Unleashed
