TOPEKA| Puppy Kindergarten

This is the most important time in your dog's life.

Puppyhood is the most crucial developmental stage in a dog's life. During the first few months puppies learn to accept and enjoy the company of other dogs and people. They need to be exposed to all kinds of stimuli inside and outside of your home. They have a willingness to please and are easily taught basic behaviors.

Is it safe to bring a puppy that young to a group class?

Read the AVSAB Puppy Socialization Statement
"Veterinarians specializing in behavior recommend that owners take advantage of every safe opportunity to expose young puppies to the great variety of stimuli that they will experience in their lives. Enrolling in puppy classes prior to three months of age can be an excellent means of improving training, strengthening the human-animal bond, and socializing puppies in an environment where risk of illness can be minimized."

Benefits of attending Puppy Kindergarten

Don't miss the opportunity to train and socialize during this very important time of your dog's life.

Learn lifelong communication skills
Start your puppy out on the right paw! Attending MuttSchool's puppy classes helps you establish a system of lifelong communication with your dog. You will learn how to teach and motivate your puppy so they want to work with you right from the start.

Early training is important
The information being taught in class is important for your dog's socialization with other puppies and people. Just like in human kindergarten, our teaching methods are specifically designed for young minds with short attention spans.

Reduce bad habits
The information provided in a puppy class is to help you learn what is necessary to turn your puppy into a good companion and prevent challenging behaviors at home. Starting a puppy out in our Puppy class leads to having a dog with fewer bad habits.

Helps you stay on track with what your puppy needs as it grows.
Puppies change quickly. During the first 20 weeks, your puppy will go through 6 different growth stages. During class, you will learn how to handle the challenges you may face at each stage.
