Come When Called

"FLUFFY, COME!" If your puppy hears this, do they run towards you as fast as possible? Or do they take their time, and maybe even ignore you?
A reliable recall is one of the most important thing you can teach your puppy. Through lots of different games, we will learn how to understand and maintain a recall throughout your puppy's whole life!

Is your puppy in the biting stage of their development?
Puppy biting can be one of the most frustrating things a puppy can do! Their little razor teeth are so sharp!
