Dogs should make your life Bigger, not smaller. Let’s accomplish teaching your puppy how to be the best dog ever, together.

Puppy Education Hour is for all puppies that meet these guidelines:

  • 10 weeks - 1 year old

  • 35lbs or less

  • The ability to play with minimal barking and no aggression.

  • Have received a minimum of 1 distemper & 1 bordetella vaccine, as well as a clean fecal test (after 6 months of age puppies must also have a rabies vaccine). Proof of veterinary care can be uploaded to your profile when creating your account, or we can call your puppy’s veterinarian.

Sharing is Caring

At Pickles we prioritize creating a cooperative and friendly atmosphere where your puppy can develop healthy play habits and social etiquette. We include toys and treats in every P.E.H. (treats are optional).

Impulse Control

Our training approach helps your puppy develop self-discipline, ensuring they respond appropriately to various stimuli and situations, promoting a well-mannered and composed furry soulmate in all of life’s environments.

Confidence

In a supportive learning environment, we focus on gradually challenging and encouraging your puppy, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-assurance in various situations.

Experience the Difference

  • Easily save your puppy’s spot each week by pre-booking via the client portal. PEH is on a first come first serve basis, registering for each class is highly recommended.

  • Puppy Education Hour is a 1 hour, drop off class. Before covid PEH was open for puppy parents to stay, but we found that hindered the puppies’ progress. So we welcome you to enjoy a local restaurant or to taking a walk along the trail across the street.

  • You’ll take home a report card from every class! We’ll give you a one on one mini consultation at pick up, but you’ll also take home a fun report card explaining more details about what we worked on and how your puppy did.
