Training Classes

The Puppy Ladies offer a variety of group training classes. As experts in puppy development, we use only humane methods, backed by science, to train your new companion. We love helping children learn all about puppy training, too. Our classes are held on a 10-acre property in Tallahassee, and are fun, effective, and thorough!
