Registration for group dog training classes at Lake Emma Animal Hospital is now open! Please click here.
Our classes focus on giving puppies and adult dogs the skills they need to become well-mannered family members. We’ll work on basics like sit, down, recalls, go to your place, loose-leash walking and socialization. We’ll also address common questions like crate training, house training, jumping and chewing, and we’ll even have a special lesson on preparing your dog for a positive vet visit.
Our puppy classes are modular, so puppies can jump into the 6-class rotation as soon as 8 weeks old. That way they don’t miss critical learning time waiting for a 6- or 8-week rotation to end, like other facilities.
Proof of vaccination required. Puppies under 16 weeks will only need to be up to date on vaccinations for their current age. Puppies and dogs over 17 weeks must be fully vaccinated.
No dogs with prior dog or human aggression will be allowed in group classes for the safety and well-being of our clients and their dogs.
We hope to add Canine Good Citizen, Rally, Conformation and Trick Classes soon!
