At Scott-Fox, we offer a variety of expert classes to benefit your dog
Scott-Fox Pet Dog Training
Scott-Fox Training starts at the beginning with Puppy Preschool. Aimed at offering a complete socialization package for puppies 8 weeks to 24 weeks, the program is unique creating a well-rounded training ground for puppies to learn about the world they are going to live in.
We also have a graduate program for puppies that have completed Puppy Preschool and may need a brush up on skills like leash walking and such.
Scott-Fox Pet Dog Training offers many classes in the evenings and weekends as well. The basic obedience class teaches owners to have an extraordinary relationship with their dogs and runs every six weeks. The class covers sit, down, stay, leashing walking, jumping up, and for the dogs to remain focused and calm in the presence of other dogs. Other classes include Tricks, Canine Good Citizen and all levels of Scent Work. These classes are very popular and full with waiting lists, so it is worth getting on a list before new sessions start.
