Puppy Socialization and Training Program Near Westport, CT
Providing a strong foundation for your puppy is one of the most important steps in ensuring a well-behaved, confident, and happy companion. Taking place in our Stamford, Connecticut, facility, our Puppy Socialization and Training Preschool is designed to help young pups learn, socialize in a safe and structured environment, and build positive habits that will last a lifetime.
What Puppies Learn in Our Preschool
Our Puppy Preschool integrates structured learning with play, ensuring puppies remain engaged while developing essential skills. To join, puppies must be up to date on vaccinations.
Over the course of 8 weeks, your pup will join their classmates twice a week Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 AM to 3 PM, on Tuesday and Thursday depending on breed and size. We know life can get hectic, so to accommodate our busy pup parents, puppies can be dropped off anytime during our business hours.
During preschool, our experienced trainers will help your pup learn:
- Basic obedience cues (commands)
- Appropriate play behaviors
- Desensitization to common household and environmental sounds
- Exposure to new experiences for confidence-building
- Socialization with other puppies
- Behavior modeling from older daycare guests
By combining obedience training with social exposure, puppies gain confidence and learn how to interact appropriately with other dogs and people in different environments.
