For a fun learning experience…
attend Puppy SmartStart classes

Now that your new puppy is home and settling into family life, it's time for puppy and the entire family to attend a puppy socialization program. Waggin' Tails is pleased to be offering the successful puppy program developed by Julie Jackson, Certified Pet Dog Trainer and Animal Medical Clinic's Behavior Wellness Program Director; and two noted animal behaviorists, Drs. R.K. Anderson and Scott Line (both Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists).

You'll learn positive techniques to motivate puppy and activities to build puppy's confidence - yours too! Every member of the family will learn to manage puppy's behavior using effective positive methods.

Could you use some help with housetraining puppy; techniques to manage puppy's nipping, barking and chewing; or information on good grooming? We've got the expertise to address these issues.

Where else will you get the opportunity to "pass the puppy" or observe "puppy playtime"? These activities are not only important learning experiences, but they are great fun for both puppies and their humans!
