Our Puppy Manners training class is very important for ensuring that your puppy develops crucial skills, listening, and self-control. You will thank yourself later, because when a puppy develops a strong foundation, it can make all the difference in your relationship for many years to come.
The course includes:
- Training skills. The course teaches skills such as

- Not jumping on people or other dogs

- Off-leash socialization. Each class also includes play time, where the puppies get to run and play with the others off leash. This is important for building their socialization and confidence. The trainer will give you advice about what to allow and watch for during play, and how to correct your puppy's behavior in an effective manner. If you do not feel comfortable with off-leash play, it is fine to temporarily wait outside the room during this time.

Angela is amazing! We chose her for puppy class because she owns large dog breeds and we wanted someone with that experience. The rest of the staff are also great. Everyone is so welcoming and makes the place enjoyable for the dogs to be in.

Re-Watch Training Exercises on Your Device
Tucker Pup's offers a proprietary online system called TrainTrack™ that revolutionizes the way dogs are trained.
The trainer will show you the exercises in person, then you can access TrainTrack to see the homework and other helpful information. Many exercises include videos, and all of them include instructions. It also includes handouts and a documentation of what you covered. This is incredibly helpful because there is a lot of information to take in, and it can be hard to remember everything that was demonstrated and discussed.
In addition, you can log your progress on TrainTrack as you are working on your home exercises. This can be invaluable for ensuring that you spend enough time, in various settings, for your dog to learn the methods thoroughly.
For private lessons, you can even upload videos to your trainer, and they can watch them in between sessions to help provide advice.
TrainTrack works on any Internet-connected device, so you can use it on your mobile phone, even when you're on a walk or working outdoors.
TrainTrack is used for all of our training services, including private lessons and classes.
