Requirements & Guidelines:

We offer two separate puppy classes that are targeted towards different age ranges:

PUPPY I: This class is for puppies that will be 8-13 weeks old when the class begins.

PUPPY II: This class is for puppies that will be 14-18 weeks old when the class begins.

Vaccinations: For all classes, all puppies must have their first set of vaccinations. Proof of vaccination dates must be brought to first class with payment.

A Family Affair... The whole family is welcome to attend! Please note: we do have guidelines for families attending with children under the age of eight.

Class Dates & Times: Classes meet weekly, on Monday evenings, for a total of 9 weeks. Please refer to the schedule on the left side of this page for the official class start dates in 2012. You can also check the main MDTC Training Calendar, which includes detailed information (i.e. date, time, location) about all of MDTC's classes, club events, demonstrations and exhibitions, etc.

Puppy Orientation (First Class, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM)
The first class, which is a Mandatory Attendance Required class, known as "Puppy Orientation", is structured a bit differently than the others. It is the only time that we will combine both classes and meet WITHOUT our puppies (due to the large amount of information that we cover, the puppies should stay home during the first class and rest up for the following week).

How much do MDTC's Puppy Classes Cost?

The cost is $100 for the 9-week session. Don't wait!
