Judy Moore’s New Class For pups that need extra TLC and help before regular STAR Puppy

Puppy Socialization Class
Puppies up to 5 months and under 25 lbs
As the only Associate Certified Dog Behavior Consultant in the state of Maine, I have the knowledge to set you and your puppy up for success!
“Thank you so much for our class today. We have found raising our puppy to be so much more stressful than we anticipated, and it has been made worse by the feeling that we haven’t been doing a particularly good job of it – not for lack of trying! But because we don’t have the skills. We are much more optimistic about our potential to raise Phoebe well after just this one class. We no longer feel like we’re going it alone. Thank you again.”
