AKC STAR Puppy Class and The Puppy Club

More and more research shows that early socialization and training is key in raising a puppy that is a good companion and member of society. If early training is not done those cute little pups become big dogs with bad manners and behaviors. At The Dog Club of Fort Collins we have developed a program to provide puppies with everything needed to develop into well mannered, obedient and well socialized dogs.

We are proud to announce our first AKC STAR Puppy Class. While you are attending the class your puppy may be enrolled in The Puppy Club which will provide socialization and grooming.
