Puppy Classes
Help your puppy feel braver around people, puppies, handling, and the grooming salon before little worries turn into bigger habits.
First classes will be intentionally small. Join the list and we will send schedule, vaccine, and registration details first.
Puppy class, the Love Your Doggo way.
The first few months with a puppy are full of big little moments. This class helps your doggo build confidence around new people, other puppies, gentle handling, sounds, surfaces, and everyday routines.
This is more than puppy playtime. Each class blends guided socialization, short training exercises, owner coaching, and built-in breaks so puppies can learn without getting overwhelmed.
For puppy parents who want a calmer start.
Small group. Science-led. Puppy-ready.
Built for puppies who need the right start
What makes this class different?
This is a structured puppy class, not just playtime. Sam brings certified behavior expertise, Love Your Doggo provides a familiar, puppy-safe salon environment, and each session is designed around confidence, manners, handling comfort, and real-life owner support.

Have More Questions?
What age should my puppy be?
Puppy class age requirements will be confirmed before launch. We will share vaccine and health guidelines when registration opens so every puppy can learn safely.
Do I attend class with my puppy?
Yes. Puppy classes work best when owners learn alongside their doggo, practice the exercises, and continue the skills at home.
What is included in the complimentary puppy grooming?
Because puppy class is held in the Love Your Doggo salon, your puppy gets familiar with the space before grooming day. The included grooming is designed to feel gentle, familiar, and confidence-building. Final details can be confirmed when registration opens.
What if my puppy is shy or nervous?
That is exactly why early, supportive classes can help. We keep sessions small and use gentle, puppy-appropriate activities so confidence can build at a safe pace.
Is this just a puppy playgroup?
No. Puppy play can be part of the experience, but the class is built around guided socialization, handling comfort, foundation manners, owner coaching, and calm breaks.
Will my puppy get to play with other puppies?
Classes include guided socialization, but play is structured and supervised. The goal is positive exposure, appropriate interactions, and calm learning.
