Pup Club

Our Labradoodle puppy, Augie, recently completed the six week Pup Club training with Derra. I would highly recommend this training. He learned so many skills that we use constantly and will continue to use for the rest of his life. The weekly owner training was especially helpful, as it was very clear what we should be doing at home. Derra is very skilled and knowledgeable and Augie loved her. We had previously done a puppy class at Pets Mart with our lab, and this was so much more extensive and useful. If we are ever brave enough to get another puppy, we will definitely be back!

Our Maltipoo pup Kernel had the best experience with the Carmel Pup Club and working with Derra. Kernel was already a frequent daycare member when classes began which made the transition incredibly easy. When our other dogs were pups we had more time to offer them for training, but Kernel was our first dog where we were both working full time at home. Pup club killed two birds with one stone because it gave him somewhere to be several times a week where he was already familiar while we were working plus he was able to learn core skills beyond our abilities. We have noticed such a transition in our little guy and Derra was even able to share with us his likes and dislikes, making training at home even easier. Even as experienced owners we found the class very helpful and most importantly Kernel enjoyed going to class and being with Derra and the other pups and staff. Although he’ll no longer be going to classes, it’s nice to know that Derra will still be there if we have questions plus we have the packets from each week’s materials to reference at home. Carmel Pup Club was a great experience and seeing the transition in our pup was incredibly worthwhile.
