Training

All classes at Wipe Your Paws are informative and very interactive. Training classes will not only benefit your dog but educate you as well. Taking a training class with your dog will also strengthen the bond between you and your pup. Wipe Your Paws offers several different dog classes that take place in our spacious daycare room and outside (depending on weather). There are 6 classes per semester and each class lasts approximately 50 minutes.
Basic obedience (puppies 12 weeks to 1 year old)
Have a puppy 12 weeks to 1 year old that you want to get started on the right foot (or paw)?  If you would like your pup to be a well behaved and respected member of the family, then Basic Obedience Puppy Class is for you!  Our trainer Judith   De Maria will teach you to teach your dog basic obedience, socialization with other dogs and new people and give you helpful tips for typical puppy issues such as house training.
