Puppy Potential

Class Details

Puppy Potential is a puppy training class in SW Calgary designed to help you and your puppy build a solid foundation of trust, socialization, and essential life skills as you embark on life’s journey together.

In this 6-week class, we will be your puppy tour guides as your puppy develops social skills, makes new friends, learns basic obedience and manners, and how to regulate their emotions.

Since no journey is complete without roadblocks, we also offer “roadside assistance” throughout the program for common challenges such as chewing, biting, house training, and those crazy puppy “witching hours.”

Are you ready to get started on your puppy training journey? Join us for Puppy Potential in SW Calgary!
