Happy Dogs, Happy Owners.
Training
No one likes an unruly dog! Many dogs end up in shelters because of behavior problems that could have been prevented with some basic training. It is best to train a dog before the age of 6 months, but it is never too late (it just takes more patience). K9Piper's Trainers have many years of combined experience and will instruct you on how to use positive methods of training for house breaking, household manners, socializing with other dogs, obedience and therapy work. Class size is limited so that you and your dog receive individual attention. Class meets once a week for an hour and most classes run for seven weeks.
Call (330) 425-3647 for class start dates or to register for a class.
