My puppy is too shy to go to puppy class.

On the contrary, your pup needs to begin puppy class at once! It is natural to want to safeguard our shy puppies from what scares them. But did you know that shyness can later develop into behavior problems? Problems like fear aggression, attachment disorders, submissive urination and the inability to cope in stressful situations. Reserved pups can sometimes be the recipe for quite an unhappy grown dog later. Your pup is still young, impressionable which means there is a lot we can do, but we must begin right away. This puppy needs careful, gentle socialization with people, dogs and "things". We can help you through this sensitive and sometimes slow process. A confident dog is a content dog.

Yelp Review 2010

Yelp Review 1/7/2010 *****SmartyPup is a great program. Fawn is wonderful: observant, caring,
experienced and knowledgeable.

I've learned so much from taking
my pup to her socials as well as Puppy One. We are starting Puppy Two
next week and I'm very excited to see what my Puppy will be able to
learn next.
