Puppy Head Start Program
Here at Top Dog SF, we help build your puppy’s foundation to be a Top Dog! Our 4-week program is perfect for puppies 2 months to 4 months old. We give your puppy an opportunity to play, socialize, and learn with our skilled, certified trainers and staff for 8 hours per day. Our Puppy Head Start Program is customized to help your puppy take advantage of the critical early developmental phase of these early months through positive reinforcement for a life long benefit.
Our Top Dog SF Head Start Program is designed to work alongside the training you are doing with them at home and out in the world to strengthen their foundation and prepare them for city life and a positive future! We offer an initial one on one puppy consult, pup parent teacher conference, puppy socials and private training sessions as well. Enroll now as space is limited!
