Have an older puppy (11-21 weeks)? Looking to socialize them as well as get into some training fundamentals? Look no further!

Our Puppy Kindergarten classes at Raintown are designed to safely socialize your puppies (yes, there’s plenty of playtime!) whilst teaching you to read your puppy’s body language for important information.

During your five weeks with us, we cover the basics of loose leash walking, body handling, recall, and more.

Puppy Kindergarten is an excellent way to set your dog up for success in a really fun environment.

It’s also a terrific way to prepare your pup up for our more advanced Basic Manners Classes once they hit adolescence.

Sold Out for Nov/Dec. Waitlist for January Below!
