Puppy Kindergarten - 6 week class @ Dogtopia of Old Bridge

Early socialization is extremely important, so exposing your puppy to as many new people, dogs and animals, sights, sounds and places during their developmental stage (8-18 weeks of age) is critical. Early socialization will make your puppy less likely to develop fear and/or aggression issues as it gets older, and instead, help pave the way for him or her to become a well-adjusted, confident, and happier adult dog.

Our puppy kindergarten classes takes place once a week on the same day/time, for 1 hour, over the course of 6 weeks at Dogtopia of Old Bridge, located at 7 Jocama Boulevard, Old Bridge, NJ. The training area is sanitized daily, climate controlled and free parking is available directly in front of the facility.

• Puppy Socialization (with people and other dogs)
• Basic Behaviors (sit, down, stand and coming when called)
