This class has a strict 8 dog limit in order to maintain that every puppy and family receives individual attention in order to achieve their training goals.  Small class sizes help us identify each puppy’s learning style, motivators which will allow the trainer the ability to make any technique modifications necessary to ensure that your puppy will succeed.
