Certification process
We help you achieve your goals for your pup’s training. A PUPS expert trainer will administer a short (25-35 minute) dog training and behavior test to assess you and your dog’s skill level. Upon completion, the trainer will suggest placement in the appropriate class with other students at the same level and establish goal setting. We may also suggest boot camps or private lessons to ensure the the most effective and efficient progression.
