puppy classes
A fun and effective puppy training program for pet parents and their new family member. Our expert trainers Sarah and Kim from Yaletown Dog Training not only help with puppy socialization, basic commands and skills, but also behavioral issues using positive approach training techniques. Both are graduates of The Academy of Dog Training's very rigorous 2 year program. More info can be found here: Academy for Dog Trainers.
