Set Your Puppy Up for Success with Pet Coach to the Rescue Classes

There is nothing more exciting than bringing home a new puppy. Set them up for a lifetime of success with our adolescent dog and puppy training in Everett, WA! We cover many topics in our classes and also offer Q & A time too, so you can get the expert support you need to help you solve both common and uncommon behavioral issues. We can also help your dog become comfortable with basic grooming and handling activities, and also teach both the standard and not-so-standard obedience cues.

Set Your Adolescent & Adult Dog Up for Success

In our class, you get to create a custom 4 or 6-week training program for your dog! You’ll identify your top three goals for taking the class, along with any long-term goals you have for your dog. Our certified trainers will break down those goals into achievable steps to help you and your dog reach your goals. Give us a call today with questions.

FAQs About Puppy and Adolescent Classes

Who can attend puppy classes?

Our puppy classes are designed for dogs ages 8 weeks to 6 months. For our human attendees, we allow up to two handlers per dog.

How are classes organized?

All puppy classes are limited to 4 puppies and our Adolescent/Adult classes are limited to 3 dogs.
When we group puppies/adults together, we take into account their breed, size, age, and play styles in order to allow for proper play.

In some cases, we may recommend that a puppy join one of our adolescent class times for a more appropriate fit.

What if I can't make it to a class?

We allow 1 “skip week” per 6-week package.
If you have something planned that will intere with you making it to a class, let us know upon registering and that missed class will not be counted against you.

 What if my puppy/adolescent has trouble in class?

If your dog has a hard time in the group setting, we will reschedule you for private sessions at our Everett facility with Shawna and/or Jessica at no additional cost.

An additional fee can be added if you want to exchange the remaining sessions to in-home sessions.

 Do you have wait lists for your classes?

We offer a rolling start in all of our puppy classes, which means that you will typically be able to start within 2 weeks of reaching out.
