Classes held in Eden Prairie and serving Minneapolis, Edina, Bloomington, Minnetonka, South & Southwest Suburbs.
Our puppy kindergarten classes are all about prevention! Let’s kick problems to the curb before they even happen. We tackle house training, play biting, and chewing while ensuring positive socialization experiences. You’ll also learn how to read dog body language, handle developmental stages, and provide enrichment opportunities for your pup’s mental health.
This class builds confidence, impulse control, and foundational obedience skills like sit, down, leave-it, stay, touch, spin, twirl, and peekaboo. You’ll learn how to recognize and understand your pup’s stage in development. We’ll also address jumping, counter surfing, and leash pulling.
The training wheels are coming off! We take all of the behaviors you learned in Life Skills 101 and start making them more reliable. We also teach ‘By My Side’—our version of heel. As your pup enters adolescence, we’ll help you navigate those big teenage emotions with patience and confidence.
Impulse control meets real-world challenges! We work to perfect all of your behaviors so that they’re dependable in day-to-day life. By the end of this course, your pup will come when called—even through a tunnel of distractions (yes, even hamburgers!). We’ll ensure that your pup can hold a stay even when you leave the room.
Take your training to the real world! Practice your pup’s skills at breweries, parks, and bustling locations like Lake Bde Maka Ska. Learn expert tips for successful outings and discover the freedom of having a Go Anywhere Dog!

Our puppy training classes are 45 minutes long. Over the years, we’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot for class length. Your puppy is guaranteed to go home tired, but he won’t be overworked. We’re working around your pup’s developing attention span, and ensuring that he enjoys his time in class.
We offer classes Monday through Friday with class start times ranging from 4:30-7:30PM. We also run classes on Saturday mornings, with start times between 9am and noon. Click to see full class schedule.
Yes. Age appropriate vaccinations are required, but that doesn’t mean your puppy needs his entire vacation series to be complete. Puppy class is so important to your dog’s overall health and wellbeing that it outweighs the minimal risk of catching something in class. Please read what the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior has to say about attending puppy classes before your puppies vaccinations are complete.
Whether you’re out sick or just plain ol’ busy, our Puppy Nannies come to the rescue! We’ll pick up your puppy, take him to class, and cram in lots of practice at the hands of a professional. You don’t have to lift a finger, but you still get to enjoy the tuckered-out puppy we deliver back to your house. This option is only available to our clients who register for a puppy training classes package or our Ultimate Puppy Program, and is an additional fee per use.
