FAQs About Puppy and Adolescent Classes

Who can attend puppy classes?

Our puppy classes are designed for dogs aged 8 weeks to 6 months. For our human attendees, we allow up to two handlers per dog. Adolescent classes are for dogs aged 7 months to 2 years.

How are classes organized?

All L.I.F.E. Skills classes are limited to 4 dogs.
When we group puppies/adults together, we take into account their breed, size, age, and play styles in order to allow for proper play.

In some cases, we may recommend that a puppy join one of our adolescent classes for a more appropriate fit.

 What if my dog has trouble in class?

If your dog has a hard time in the group setting, we will reschedule you for private sessions at our Everett facility with Shawna and/or Jessica at no additional cost.

An additional fee can be added if you want to exchange the remaining sessions for in-home sessions.

 Do you have wait lists for your classes?

No
