Welcome to the Worldbuilding — the first step in your puppy’s epic journey! Just like every great adventurer, your puppy’s world is growing and changing every single day. In this four-week course, we’ll explore the quests that matter most in early development: building confidence, fostering neutrality, strengthening attention and engagement, and laying down the foundational skills that will shape their path forward.
Along the way, we’ll weave in discussions of behavior, guided play and socialization, and plenty of hands-on skill practice to help both you and your puppy grow as a team. Every lesson builds on the last, giving you the tools to continue your training journey long after class ends.
Class is open to puppies ages 8–20 weeks at the start of the session.
