Welcome to puppy parenthood! Bringing home your new furry family member is such an exciting time—but it can also feel overwhelming figuring out where to start with training. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

That’s why Summit Veterinary Care partners with Wonderdog Training, a local trainer who shares our commitment to positive, Fear Free methods. Together, we offer a supportive, fun, and educational six-week puppy group class designed just for you and your pup.

Here’s why these classes are so valuable for new puppy parents.

1. Learn From a Certified Professional

Each week, you’ll join a group of committed puppy parents for an hour packed with expert guidance. Wonderdog’s certified professional dog trainer covers common puppy challenges like potty training, chewing, and biting—so you get the tools to handle them with confidence.

2. Build Foundation Behaviors

Your puppy will learn essential foundation behaviors that set the stage for good manners and future training success. This is the perfect time to start teaching skills that will last a lifetime.

3. Guided Socialization

Puppies get the chance to safely meet and play with other pups in a structured environment. This guided socialization is crucial for building confidence and reducing fear around new dogs and people.

4. Supportive Community

You’re not just training your puppy—you’re joining a community of fellow puppy parents who understand the joys and challenges of puppyhood. Share experiences, ask questions, and grow together!

5. Positive, Fear Free® Training Philosophy

Wonderdog Training emphasizes positive reinforcement techniques—no harsh corrections, no pressure. That means training is fun, effective, and stress-free for both you and your puppy. It also means a lot of fun – ball pits, enrichment toys, and more!
