Set Your Dog Up for Success with Pet Coach to the Rescue Classes!

Here at PCttR, we offer puppy and teenage learning and socialization classes. Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, and early training builds the foundation for a confident, well‑mannered dog. Our classes cover essential skills, problem‑solving strategies, and basic grooming and handling comfort. Trainers also offer Q&A time so you can get personalized guidance. Together with your certified trainer, you will identify your top three goals for the course, as well as any long-term objectives for your dog. The trainer will then break down these objectives into achievable steps to help you and your dog succeed. Throughout the class, we adjust the curriculum as needed. Feel free to call us today if you have any questions! 

Enrich Your Adolescent & Adult Dog's Life

We also offer a rotating variety of mental enrichment and targeted skill classes! These classes are more focused on a particular skillset or objective. Whether this is leash manners, teaching tricks, or mental enrichment strategies, you and your dog will certainly have fun and learn along the way! All of our classes will help you and your dog understand and bond with each other.

What Your Pet Will Learn In Our Classes

Upon completing the puppy or teenage course, you will have a solid understanding of how your dog learns, how to increase criteria, what motivates your puppy to want to work with you, and how to solve basic undesired behaviors. The L.I.F.E. curriculum for puppy training includes:

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
