We have partenered with Miranda for our Puppy Training Course!
We are excited to offer a wonderful puppy training course for 8 week old puppies (or older). This fun and effective 4 week long puppy training program will equip your furry friend with essential skills for a happy and well-behaved life. Training is partnered with Riverside Canine Training Academy - Miranda. Please reach out to myself & Miranda if this is something you are considering - the earlier the better as spots can be limited at times.
