Puppy Kindergarten - for puppies 8-20 wks
This 4 week class is ideal for any new puppy up to 20 weeks old at the start of class. We will help build a solid foundation for your puppy that will last their entire lifetime. We will focus on engagement, relationship, socialization, and life skills. You will learn practical solutions to the challenges of puppyhood – including crate training and confinement, potty training, manners, problem prevention and other puppy related matters. This is not a skills/obedience class. We recommend that you take Companion Dog Manners or Performance Manners shortly after. This class also does not include “puppy playtime” - each puppy will be working with it's owner on all the fun activities. We require puppies to have started their vaccination cycle at least 7 days prior to the first class. This 4-week class has rolling admission. You pick and join any week that has an opening. Once you start, you have a reserved spot in that class for consecutive 4 weeks. If your puppy is over 20 weeks at the start of the class and you feel this is a more appropriate class for your dog based on its size, confidence level, mental maturity, etc., please contact us at training@runwilddogsports.com.

Puppy Playtime - for puppies 8-24 wks
Puppy Playtime is a structured and carefully supervised socialization class designed to help puppies develop confidence, communication skills, and appropriate interactions with other dogs. The class focuses on teaching puppies how to engage, disengage, take breaks, and respond appropriately during social interactions. Through carefully supervised play sessions, puppies learn valuable skills including reading canine body language, respecting boundaries, managing excitement, and developing healthy play habits. Instructors will guide interactions, provide appropriate interruptions, and help puppies practice calm behaviors around other dogs. Puppy Playtime is open to puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months of age. To participate, puppies must have received at least their first set of vaccinations, in accordance with the current recommendations of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB). To maintain a safe, positive, and well-supervised environment, each Puppy Play session is limited to a maximum of 8 puppies, allowing instructors to closely monitor interactions and provide individualized guidance throughout the class.
