OBEDIENCE CLASSES

Puppy & Kitten

Training should begin at an early age (8-12 weeks).  Early training can help with important areas of learning, including establishing leadership, socializing, and preventing unruly behaviors.  We offer various printed materials and education to help with training and taking care of your new pet.

Our instructor is Jerry, our own Veterinary Assistant, with over 20 years of behavior training experience.  He offers a class on Thursday nights from 7:00-8:00 p.m. by appointment only. Your first class is at no cost to you.  Additional classes can be scheduled with Jerry at your convenience at a fair rate per hour.  Please call (607) 734-5261 to set up your starter appointment today.
