YOUR LOCAL SPECIALISTS FOR PUPPY TRAINING CLASSES

Puppy Preschool classes at Raintown are designed to safely ‘pad’ your younger puppies (between 7-12 weeks) with new sights, sounds, surfaces, and plenty of playtime. We go over fundamentals like crate training, bite inhibition, potty training, and more. We also sweeten the deal with a free puppy socialization drop-in!

This 3-week class series is a great springboard to get to know the Raintown team and style before moving on to Puppy Kindergarten.
