Jr Puppy Class
Our learn-and-play group training options for Jr puppies of all sizes 4 to 9 months.
Together we'll learn and practice skills like walking on a loose leash and coming when called.
Different than our Minding Our Manners course, Jr Puppy Class does include off-leash group socialization time.
What’s Covered In Class?
As puppies grow into teenagers, they tend to have more energy and are even more curious about everything! That’s where Jr Puppy Class comes in.
Led by Nikki Nordick, an experienced, Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Behavior Consultant, and Owner of Airdrie Puppy Pals, each puppy class is customized to support the group of puppies (and the families!) attending.

When Can Jr Puppies Start?
Your Jr puppy can join us after their received their Rabies vaccines, usually given around 16 weeks of age, and attend classes until they're 9 months old.
The Power of Play-Based Learning
Through education and experience, we know many Jr Puppies learn best when they have the opportunity to learn and then play. Every Jr Puppy Class includes both on-leash learning time and off-leash group socialization with dogs of different sizes and energy levels.
Play with Jr Puppies can be exciting and sometimes high energy. If you or your Puppy Pal might be unsure in a mixed-size, learn-and-play group environment, please contact us before registering for class so we can help you find the right fit.
