Tiny Tots Puppy Class—a safe haven for the smallest puppies weighing under 20 lbs at the start of their schooling.

$30 DEPOSIT WITH APPLICATION FOR NEW PUPS.  This covers the cost of two missed classes and will be applied to the pup's last day of tuition if unused.

• Four Classes Paid in Advance $33.00 each class
• Eight Classes Paid in Advance $32.00 each class

You may pay for a single day of school for your pup's first day to determine whether the program is for you.  Afterward, it's best for all students to remain in the program for at least 4 weeks and we ask you to make that minimum commitment.  There is a $15 charge for missed classes due to illness, vacations, or any other reason.  This holds your pup's spot in his/her class.  Most pups attend one or two days per week, depending on the needs of their families.

Small breed pups who stay under our weight limit of 35 pounds may stay in the puppy program until they reach  one year of age or outgrow the tolerance and enjoyment of puppy play, whichever FIRST occurs.   The Small Breed Adult Graduate School Program (Mon/Thur) is an option for small breed pups when they are ready to transition to the adult class!

We require that all puppies be spayed or neutered at first opportunity. Any sexually-intact puppy who is displaying sexual behavior that imposes on other pups’ play/freedom will need to be removed from the program. In addition to standard immunizations (at least one set of shots), all pups must have the Bordatella (Kennel Cough) vaccine before starting school.
