Furst Steps is here to teach and guide puppies & pet owners through the tough stages of puppyhood by providing services and a helping hand regarding proper nutrition, chews/treats, toys, training, socialization, and more. Our training programs are science-based, positive focused and taught by a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA).

We incorporate your puppy’s five senses into our program before, during and after their Critical Socialization Period to help ensure they will be well-socialized & well-rounded dogs. We are here to give your puppy positive, enriching, and exciting experiences.
