| Puppy Class
Purrfect Puppies is
essential to the behavioral development of puppies. Our
puppy class teaches you and your puppy important life
skills like impulse control, bite inhibition, meeting
novel stimuli with confidence, and how to communicate
with us politely. Those lessons are taught using
positive reinforcement based methods like clicker
training to create an effective, efficient and fun
communication system that both you and your dog can
understand with ease.
By
starting off on the right paw with your puppy you can
avoid behavior problems that may develop due to lack of
socialization and training. Not only will your dog learn
to respond to cues like 'sit', 'down' and 'stay'. They
will also learn how to walk politely, greet people
without jumping and leave objects alone that are not
chew toys!
At the completion of the course all
puppies are eligible to take the S.T.A.R. Puppy Test.

Testimonials
Megan
Zagarella (Jasmine) - The class
helped us discover commands and tricks our dog had all
ready learned from her previous owners and then refine
those behavior for her new schedule and life with us.
The staff was very positive and encouraging during the
sometimes frustrating process of training a young puppy.
Nancy
Magnuson (Cooper) - Cooper
has grown vastly in his first 7 weeks with us and the Purrfect Paws family. He has become a very well-mannered
puppy with skills he’ll be using in everyday life and
has only the great training of the Purrfect Paws staff
to thank for teaching his parents to interact with an
understanding of a dog’s world.
