Puppy Training
Puppy socialization and training to get your pup on the right foot (or shall we say, paw)!
Dogs are part of your family, and that means we want to be able to bring them on camping trips, to farmer's market hauls, and to dog-friendly coffee shops and restaurants in West Seattle. Our goal is to create environments and activities to help your dog thrive, at home, and out on the town!
If you're a first-time puppy owner and feel overwhelmed by how much there is to do to help your puppy grow up to be a happy, healthy, polite member of your family, you're in the right place and we're here to help every step of the way.
