Training is structured in progressive series: Puppy Class Series (Puppy Kindergarten → Puppy Manners → Puppy Care), Obedience Series (Beginner → Basic → CGC Prep → Intermediate), Manners Series, and Care Series (Beginner Care → Basic Care → Intermediate Care). Each class has prerequisites, ensuring dogs build skills incrementally. AKC FIT Dog fitness classes and Fear Free Puppy Grooming are offered as specialty programs.
