Puppy Classes- NEW
Raising a puppy can feel like a whirlwind—biting, accidents, endless energy, and wondering if you’re doing it “right.” You don’t have to figure it out alone.
This class offers expert support and simple, practical tools in a calm, supportive space where your puppy can learn and grow.
Held in a bright, modern vet clinic in NW Calgary, your pup will safely explore, socialize, and build confidence—especially for vet visits and handling. With just 3–4 puppies per class, we’ll guide you through common challenges like nipping and potty training while building real-life skills that stick.
*Please note that this class is for puppies under 5 months old

Pawsitive Vet Prep- Coming Soon
If your dog shakes, hides, or panics at the vet, you're not alone—and there is something you can do about it. This class helps dogs who are fearful or anxious at the vet learn to feel more comfortable and confident! Held right inside a veterinary clinic, your dog will get real-life practice in a supportive environment.
You’ll learn how to help your dog feel comfortable with things like being touched, weighed, and examined, as well as how to introduce tools like stethoscopes, muzzles, and nail clippers in a positive way. We’ll also teach you how to recognize your dog’s stress signals and advocate for their comfort—so you both walk into the vet with more confidence and less fear.
