Great place to take your new puppy for his first classes. You will get great instruction and learn so much on how to train your pup. Interaction with others in a controlled environment.  These classes are a must for any young puppy.

I would recommend the puppy classes for all puppies! It's great for bonding with your pup, teaching them valuable commands, and also socializing them from a young age.

As a first-time dog owner, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but attending these behavioral and socializing classes was an amazing experience. The sessions were incredibly informative and gave me the tools I needed to feel confident in my new role.
​The change in my pup, Benny, has been wonderful to see. He has learned so much in such a short time, but more importantly, his confidence has soared. Watching him go from his first day to interacting so positively with the other dogs has been the highlight of our journey so far. I highly recommend Juan(trainer) and FurBuddies to anyone looking to give their fur baby the best start possible!

Juan is so good with the doggies.  Brodie made fabulous friends.  The moms and dads also become friends.  Solid puppy training to build on going forward.  The word "look" has got Brodie focusing and will be used forever going forward.
