Project REWARD classes began as a way to offer free puppy and basic obedience group sessions to any dog adopted from SGDR. But it isn’t just for Snooty alum.
Did you know that if you adopt a puppy from any local municipal shelter you can sign up for a free session of Puppy Foundation classes? We are also here for you if you are struggling with behavior issues and feel you cannot afford the help you need.
Training Classes are a great opportunity to start a foundation with you dog as well as get the unruly dog under control. Our classes are geared towards obtaining a family pet that is well behaved in the home as well in public. Classes include Puppy, & Basic obedience.
Puppies 6 months and younger adopted from local shelters are given a free Puppy Foundations class. (proof of adoption required)
